OM can lose everything at the end of the season. For a long time Dolphin of PSG with a small mattress in advance, the men of Roberto de Zerbi have seen him melt as snow in the sun in recent months. Now 3rd with a delay on the 2nd Monaco but only two ahead of the 6th Strasbourg, the Olympians can see the qualification for the next campaign of the Champions League pass them under their nose.
And it is not the heavy defeat in Monaco this weekend (3-0) which is likely to reassure. Beyond the negative result, the performance of some players has left something to be desired, especially in defense. Handed over for a while, the defensive sector could plumb the end of the season of Phocaeans. It is not Eric Di Meco who will say the opposite, he who has a new one denounced the sidelining of Chancel Mbemba. At the end of the contract and placed in the “loft”, the Congolese international could have led to a hand, especially with the injury of Leonardo Balerdi.
“” At the beginning I was strongly mounted in the niche because I did not understand the situation and I thought we were shooting ourselves in the foot, explained the former Marseillais about Mbemba on RMC. I was told that it was over and that the story was settled, told the ex-left lateral. I haven't talked about it anymore. But at one point, we will have to be explained by this story anyway. I want him to be a little worse, that he is at the end of my career. But those I see there, they are not at the end of their careers but they are tired too … “
Di Meco: “The winter transfer window has broken a dynamic and a team balance”
Di Meco then pointed out the winter transfer window and the choices of the direction. “The winter transfer window broke a dynamic and a team balance that existed before Christmas, and which were rather interesting because it had allowed OM to stay second for a long time, he regrets. We can make this observation, even if we do not know if you would have known these misadventures by not recruiting these players. »»
“I still have the impression that we reinforced in positions that were not those where we needed it most,
continued Di Meco. Especially when you see today that you have to play with three central defenders who are not central defenders, and that you took one (Luiz Felipe, editor's note) who does not play. The observation is hard, and it will be even more so if the sky and white fail to hang the C1.
