The madness was almost total Monday evening at the Vélodrome stadium. Fourteen years after his last success at home in the league against Paris Saint-Germain, Olympique de Marseille returned to victory against his opponent (1-0, 5th day). Faced with a Parisian team amputated by several executives, OM managed to win thanks to a counter-sound-cap scored by Marquinhos. From now on, some people think that the southern club can seek the title of champion of France.
A bet to say the least, but to wish to note Yoann Riou. A columnist on the team, the latter explained this Wednesday, why he thought of such a possible event. By first invoking reasons related to Paris Saint-Germain.
“PSG has played too many matches (…) with pressure, truncated holidays, truncated preparation (…). They cannot train. Marseille must fight for the title. »»
And this time the observer focused a little more on the Marseille team. “When you see the transfer window.
(Nayef) Aguerd is an extraordinary defender,
(Benjamin) Pavard was holder with Inter, (Timothy)
Weah was holder with Juventus (…). »» Relaunched so that he clearly said who he saw winning Ligue 1 this year, Yoann Riou decided. “Who is going to be champion?” I say Olympique de Marseille. »»
OM gets some votes
“What happened against PSG. Obviously it was missing when you have three of your four best players who are not there. But Marseille proved it to the Bernabeu too. »» The bet is therefore launched and on the set, the columnist was not the only one to make this choice since Loïc Tanzi also put a piece on OM. Prognoses on which it will be interesting to return to the end of the season.
In the meantime, and after five days of the championship, it is AS Monaco which is in the lead in front of PSG, OL and Strasbourg, all on equal points. Lille follows in fifth position with two units late, then OM arrives in sixth place, three points behind the head teams.
