Since last January and
his elimination by Lille in the French CupOlympique de Marseille has only Ligue 1 to compete as competition. Which could have been an evil for a good in the perspective of the race for qualifying places for the next Champions League.
Except that since this period, the Marseille club seems to be losing momentum. Witness his recent defeats against AJ Auxerre (0-3) on February 22 and
Facing the Racing Club of Lens (0-1) last Saturday. According to Daniel Riolo, the winter transfer window would have had a direct impact on this period of mixed results.
A Winter Mercato failed for OM?
“De Zerbi has changed things because he has been given players to the transfer window and he must make them play. Let's take a closer look at what has happened since the end of the transfer window. Has OM, which was in a very good series of progression at the level of the game, has not had a real fall since Bennacer plays in the middle and that we are told that it is an international star? I am not saying that Maupay is untouchable but there was a team that was running ”analyzed the sports journalist on RMC.
To stay on the podium and hope to compete in the Champions League next season, OM will have to negotiate the nine games left. It will start with a complicated trip on Sunday at the Parc des Princes, during the closing match of the 26th day of Ligue 1.
