The fanfare start of Olympique de Marseille already seems a long way off. During the first day, OM had indeed surprised everyone by crushing Strasbourg (4-0) at the VĂ©lodrome, at the same time seizing the leadership chair. But since then, the Ciel et Blanc have still not won a single match.
Worse, since these thunderous beginnings, OM have suffered three defeats, in Monaco (2-0), against Paris FC at the VĂ©lodrome (2-3) and in Rennes (1-0). And this while a week of all dangers looms with a trip to Besiktas in the Europa League then the reception of Paris SG at the VĂ©lodrome.
Bruno Genesio is inevitably under pressure but recently gave a formal update on Friday on the club’s ambitions. “It’s not my place to say that. We must be ambitious in our game with players who respond, which they achieve in sequence. I have the objectives in mind, it’s clear to me. I am here to analyze matches, evaluate my team. Now, on the objective, it’s not for me to say that”, he said, seeming to wait for his management to be explicit on the subject.
“That’s not the guy’s style at all”
The exit of the former Lyonnais has caused a lot of talk and some no longer hesitate to question the short-term future of the Marseille technician, still affected by the transfer window with zero recruits from OM. According to them, Bruno Genesio could resign in the event of two new defeats this week. A perspective vigorously denied within the club’s entourage.
“There is nothing enigmatic. Besides, it’s not Genesio who is going into this field… When we see the transfer window, we have to be lucid. Why ask a question that everyone knows the answer to? Plus, fans don’t need that to understand the situation and know what to expect this season. Losing hope is not at all the man’s style, he won’t resign.” a source close to the club informed Provence.
