Three down for Olympique de Marseille. The triumphant entry of the Marseillais, during the 1era
day, already seems a long way away. Because since this inaugural victory against Strasbourg (4-0), Ciel et Blanc have now had three defeats in a row.
Beaten for the first time in Monaco (2-0), the Marseillais then fell at home against the PFC (2-3) last weekend and on Friday, away to the pitch at Stade Rennais, they logically lost 1-0. And this while after a perilous trip to Besiktas in the Europa League, it is PSG who will be at the Vélodrome next weekend.
OM is suffering and does not seem to have the weapons to fight with the best. An observation shared half-heartedly by Bruno Genesio, who would also like his leaders to be transparent about the club’s objectives this season. “I have the objectives in mind, it’s not up to me to say them”he whispered at the Ligue 1+ microphone.
“Will we have time?” I don’t know “
Although he did not wish to set specific objectives, Stéphane Richard recently suggested that he still had the ambition to see OM fight for a European place. A speech that goes down badly with Bruno Genesio given the Marseille transfer window. Forced to reduce its payroll, the Olympian club had to let several executives leave without being able to attract any recruits.
“We’ve had to do a lot of DIY so far. It’s going to take time. Will we have any? I don’t know. We can’t ask players to do things overnight that they weren’t used to doing.”continued the former Lyonnais, who seems to be taking the situation more and more badly.
