New disillusionment for Olympique de Marseille. A week after their defeat in Monaco, OM lost at home to Paris FC (2-3). And the tone of the evening was set from the 23rd second of play when the visitors took the Vélodrome cold thanks to Lassine Sinayoko. From then on, the Marseille club chased the score for most of the match. And despite a double from Amine Gouiri allowing the Marseillais to come back twice, a penalty conceded in the final moments sealed the victory for the Parisians.
At the end of the match, Marseille coach Bruno Genesio did not mask his exasperation, pointing out the defensive generosity and the lack of maturity of his troops. “It’s certain that it wasn’t the ideal start. We got everything mixed up a little bit at times,” first conceded the technician on Ligue 1+, before targeting the deep problem in his training:
“The third goal is indicative of what we did wrong: too much time in the transmission, a lack of balance and we were countered like a team of kids. »
For the Olympian coach, the offensive animation cannot mask the overall naivety of the defensive block. “There were some very good things with the ball. There was some play on the sides, some splitting, but we can’t hope for much when we defend the way we defended.”he shouted. Taking his share of responsibility while calling for urgent collective awareness, he added: “I am also responsible for it because I ask a lot of things from my team: pressing and defending while moving forward. But you have to be lucid enough to know when you can do it and when you need to be a little more united. We will have to leave tomorrow. »
“We made too many big mistakes”
Facing the press, Genesio hit the nail on the head, emphasizing the regression compared to previous releases. “After a match like that, we have reason to be worried. Unlike last week, where I found the match coherent, I find that this evening we made far too many gross errors. he lamented, specifying however not to give in to panic. “Worried, there are only three days played. But no one at the club is fooled. Me first. I warned, already after the first match, of the difficult times we could go through this season. »
While a daunting schedule awaits OM – a trip to Rennes this Friday, a European shock at Besiktas then the reception of PSG – it is time to work to rectify the situation as quickly as possible.
