Obviously, the 10th day of Ligue 1 did not only make people happy. While PSG and OL were neutralized, respectively in Lorient (1-1) as well as Paris FC (3-3), OM also could not do better than a draw (2-2) at home against Angers. The Olympians did not manage to return to the top of the ranking by going a third game in a row without a victory, in all competitions.
It must be said that the opportunity to regain the championship leadership position was too good. Apathetic at the start of the game, the Marseillais logically conceded the opening of the Angevin score through Sidiki Cherif (25th). The burst of pride of Roberto De Zerbi’s men (1-1, 52nd then 2-1 in the 70th) was not enough to secure the victory, with this goal in the 96th minute from Ousmane Camara for the 2-2.
A poor performance which did not escape the show’s chroniclers After Footthis Wednesday evening on
RMC, very critical of OM and the Italian tactician. “In the first half, Angers are on par with you at home, that’s not possible. The solution is not provided quickly enough by De Zerbi. OM failed mentally, it was the big disappointment of the evening”first blurted out journalist Florent Gautreau, before Daniel Riolo intervened in the debate.
“A lot of smugness to go get a donut”
The leading editorialist did not really appreciate the match proposed by Olympique de Marseille, while the path to first place in Ligue 1 was clear. “The word underperformance is weak “, he first clarified. “It’s Angers opposite, and they (OM, editor’s note) give you a cataclysmic first period. Where when you looked at it, you felt like you were time traveling a year back.”
“Each counterattack, you had the impression that there was no one left, that there were boulevards in all directions,” continues Riolo, who is not really used to dealing with lace. “I find that behind it, there was a lot of complacency to go and get the donut smacked like that. This is a huge underperformance for OM. (…) This draw is like a defeat. » Third, the Phocéens will try to climb back up this Saturday in Auxerre (9 p.m.).
