There is concern for Olympique de Marseille, according to Eric di Meco, given the latest performances of the Olympians.
The fire is smoldering in Marseille. After showing their discontent during the sad draw conceded by the Ciel et Blanc against Toulouse on Sunday, the supporters went into clashes during a meeting with the Marseille leaders on Monday, demanding their resignation. And the situation could deteriorate further given the schedule that awaits OM in the coming weeks.
Marcelino’s men must indeed make two dangerous trips this week to the pitch of Ajax Amsterdam in the Europa League and PSG in Ligue 1 and the program will be just as plentiful next week with the receptions of Brighton and Monaco. “ I was the first to ask for time for Marcelino. On the other hand, there is a problem: the calendar. You get caught at Ajax and you lose against Paris, you already have fire in Monaco », Launched Eric di Meco on the airwaves of RMC.
But more than the results – all in all honorable from an accounting point of view with a third place in Ligue 1 thanks to two victories and three draws after five days – it is the poverty of the Olympian game and the attitude of the players which pose a problem. “ You don’t take seven games to understand the basics. I can understand it not being oiled. Those who were there last year are the ones who are doing the best. The recruits (Aubameyang, Ndiaye, Correa, etc.) are in tougher situations. We’re going to have a big problem quickly. As soon as there are bad results, there will be fire. Alexis wanted to stay but we made a technical choice to strengthen the collective. We cannot blame a president for making a squad based on their coach. But he needs to adapt quickly. The fans are not angry at the game but also at the attitudes. When I see Aubameyang and Correa walking after losing the ball…Last year, OM lost matches at the VĂ©lodrome but they were applauded. If things are rumbling at the moment it’s because of the attitude,” estimated the former left back of the 1993 European champions.
