“Cataclysmic”, “Enormously complacent”, OM is scary

The tide quickly turned in Marseille. In less than ten days, OM’s good momentum was completely reversed.

On Wednesday evening, Olympique de Marseille had a golden opportunity to regain control of Ligue 1, after Paris Saint-Germain’s draw (1-1) in Lorient. Except that the Marseille club was unable to maintain its goal lead against Angers, at the Orange Vélodrome.

Result of the races: at the end of this tenth day of the championship, Leonardo Balerdi and his teammates are two lengths behind the Ile-de-France leader and one behind AS Monaco. Nothing very dramatic on an accounting level, except a poor dynamic of results which is taking hold. The worst is in the content offered.

“I find that the word counter-performance is even weak, judged Daniel Riolo on RMC at the end of the meeting. They give you a cataclysmic first period. You felt like you were taking a trip back in time a year, with boulevards in every direction. What happened? Did we go back a year? We no longer understand anything. »

OM, a draw that sounds like a defeat

After the defeats against Sporting in the Champions League and Lens in Ligue 1, this result had the most unfortunate effect.
“There was a lot of complacency behind it,
continues the sports journalist. Getting the donut slammed like that is a huge poor performance for OM because it also follows two matches where Marseille should have won but didn’t. Tonight feels like a defeat. »

Roberto De Zerbi did not hide his anger in a post-match press conference. From Saturday, OM will have the opportunity to raise their heads by traveling to AJ Auxerre for the eleventh day of Ligue 1.
