The defeats conceded in August in Rennes and in Lyon now seem far away. Since then, Olympique de Marseille has chained three Rang Victories in Ligue 1, including a prestige success against Paris SG, eight days ago. What authorize all hopes, according to Eric Di Meco.
Given the second place won last season and the ambitious recruitment carried out during the summer transfer window, OM must not target lower than this second place and can even dream in terms of the difficulties with which the Parisians will have to compose.
“Just look at what OM did last season and see recruitment to say that being second in this championship is the minimum union”, He explained to the Rothen microphone ignited, adding: “The duty of OM is to go and get this second place and be there if PSG has an average season, with many wounded, a champions league in which they lose people and therefore they lose a few matches. »»
Defense of transformed OM
Eric Di Meco is all the more convinced that OM can see things as great as he considers that the sky and white have strengthened this summer despite the departure of Adrien Rabiot. “We all agree that OM is stronger than last year”he said, delighted with many arrivals in defense.
“Because the fault of OM last year was to take goals against anyone at any time. I have long been worried by recruitment because I did not see them arriving these defenders, apart from Medina. And happily, the Pavard, Aguerd and Emerson are just at the end. And you change your team. Emerson, since he arrived, he is huge ”,
he said.
For the former side, the biggest OM problem is perhaps the Marseille context. “This may be why De Zerbi does not ignite today, because he realized last year that you can set fire on your own, even when everything is fine. Last year, it is the team that is most often second of the whole season and despite everything, we have managed to set fire to ourselves ”, he deplored for this purpose.
