Olympique de Marseille travels to Metz for the 2nd day of Ligue 1, this Friday (kick-off at 9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information about this match.
Olympique de Marseille is plunging back into the daily bread of Ligue 1, from this Friday evening, with a trip to the lawn of Metz. An ideal timing for a formation determined to quickly forget the disillusionment against Panathinaikos. ” It’s a good day to do an assessment. I don’t think there will be many changes. The current squad does not allow for a great choice, there are players who have suffered a lot. We won’t have another match until Saturday, so a priori there shouldn’t be many changes.“, announced Marcelino.
The OM coach is convinced that his team is on the right track before this match against the promoted. “No team can be perfect in 20 days, I’m not prepared for that to be possible, with a gradual arrival of players. It’s not easy, if we had won 4-0 everything would be perfect, we wouldn’t have a problem. This defeat should not change the path taken. Tomorrow’s match will be difficult, the season will be long, we will suffer, it is not possible not to suffer against a promoted player who plays at home. We have a workforce that does not allow us to have players of the same level in the same position. We have to focus until the end of August on Ligue 1”. The stage is set.
