Olympique de Marseille is not coping. While they hoped to raise their heads after their defeat at Lorient (2-0) and their draw against OGC Nice, the Marseillais followed up with a heavy defeat on the pitch at FC Nantes (3-0). A new setback which means they have to give up on the Champions League and find themselves outside of European places with two days to go.
OM is in crisis and Florian Thauvin, former executive of the Olympian club, sympathizes. The French world champion, largely responsible for the golden season experienced by RC Lens, second in Ligue 1 behind PSG and qualified for the final of the Coupe de France, also has an explanation for the descent into hell of Ciel et Blanc.
“There have been a lot of things that have happened this season and today we really have to take into account the mental aspect. I have the impression of seeing mentally exhausted players”he confided to Hervé Mathoux on the Canal Football Club set on Sunday.
“A daily pressure that is difficult to bear”
“With the changes and the bad results, when you enter a bad spiral, there is a daily pressure which is difficult to bear at Olympique de Marseille,
he continued. Supporting this pressure in Marseille is not for everyone. And obviously, they are having trouble finding the resources. »
The native of Orléans, author of 10 goals and five assists in 31 Ligue 1 matches, now hopes for OM that he finishes on a good note and manages to grab a folding seat for a European Cup. “We hope for them that things will get better by the end of the season,” he said.
