L’Marseille Olympic is going through a delicate period. The Marseille club has only one victory in its last five matches in all competitions, and it was a very narrow success against AJ Auxerre (1-0).
A meager record which was tarnished by a new snag on Wednesday evening, against a backdrop of scandal. Beaten by Atalanta after an unfavorable decision by the referee at the end of the match (0-1), OM conceded their third setback in four European outings, compromising their chances of qualifying for the play-offs.
A bitter end to the match for OM.
Roberto De Zerbi’s team will have to win three times in their next four matches in this phase of the League to hope to finish in the top 24, if we rely on last season’s ranking. But does she have the capabilities? Eric Di Meco doubts it.
Di Meco regrets Rabiot’s departure
Called upon to react to OM’s defeat against Atalanta, the 1993 European champion made a clear observation. “Those who are there are perhaps not at the level, thundered Di Meco on RMC. Last season, you didn’t have fifty players to keep. You don’t have that much after all…”.
For Di Meco, the management of Olympique de Marseille made a major mistake by parting ways with Adrien Rabiot. “If there is one to keep, it’s Rabiot and you strengthen yourself around it. Yes, there was a contractual problem with him, but how much will this contractual problem cost you if you don’t get out of the group at the finish? “, the former defender asked again. With “ifs”… As a reminder, OM will try to react in Ligue 1 with the reception of Brest, this Saturday (5 p.m.).
