This Monday, Christophe Dugarry and Éric Di Meco spoke about the game produced by OM since the arrival of Marcelino.
Although still undefeated in Ligue 1 this season, theOlympic Marseille difficult to convince in the game. Against Metz and against Nantes, the Olympians were held in check despite their numerical superiority and even sometimes came close to corrections, and their victories against Reims and Brest were hardly more reassuring, while like the elimination in the Champions League against Panathinaikos.
Marcelino must do better
In Marseille more than elsewhere, the work of a coach who arrived two months ago is necessarily already in question. Marcelino is no exception, and it was Christophe Dugarry who expressed doubts about his compatibility with the Riviera club on Monday evening. “I was criticized for being Zizou’s friend, I have the impression that he was taken because he is ‘the friend of’. In this club, you need a particularity in your character, your behavior, your record “explained the former striker on the show Rothen ignites.

Another former Marseillais, Éric Di Meco is not a follower of the style of play offered by OM either since the arrival of the Spanish technician. “What the fans see is an old-fashioned 4-4-2. When you have players in the lanes who are only offensive and who have no defensive reflexes, you are quickly in trouble. (…) It does not make you dream, I get bored watching OM matches. The fans are bored. We don’t quite understand what he wants to do. We expect more recruits but we will have to wait. I think that before long, at the end of September, we will have to see something”, launched the former Marseille side. Marcelino will quickly have to find the formula to seduce an audience that is perhaps the most demanding in France.
