OM finds a smile. The beginnings in the league before the truce were laborious with two defeats in Rennes and Lyon, and the divorce in public place with Adrien Rabiot. The last days of the transfer window, and the arrival of the latest recruits, went through there, in addition to the international break which was able to drop the pressure a little. For the reunion with the velodrome yesterday on the occasion of the 4th day, the Phocaeans made no details by crushing Lorient 4-0, well helped, it is true, by the early expulsion of Darlin Yongwa from the 10th minute. They enjoyed perfectly the facts of play.
Eleven against ten and taking advantage of a penalty transformed by Greenwood on this red card, the Marseillais quickly took off thanks to Pavard, who played his first match, then Gomes, another summer recruit. Aguerd also negotiated his first under his new jersey very well by scoring the last goal of his team in the second half. OM won with authority, wins in confidence and was able to celebrate a beautiful evening with its supporters in a conquered velodrome. Even Roberto de Zerbi, usually stingy in smiles, had a happy look at a press conference.
