L’Marseille Olympics took care of its debut in Ligue 1 by signing a resounding victory on the Brest pitch last week, for Roberto De Zerbi’s first in official competition (5-1). Ultra-efficient and clinical on counter-attack phases, this new-look OM team does not yet have the touch of the Italian technician, but it is launching its campaign perfectly.
“We played a good match in Brest, otherwise we wouldn’t have won 5-1, explained De Zerbi. On the game side, we can improve. We played better against Augsburg. Results must be easier to obtain. The players are improving day by day. If we seek perfection, we can always improve. The Italian expects an exceptional atmosphere against Reims, for the reunion with the Vélodrome. You always have to make an impression, during training or matches for the prestige of the jersey you wear. This match against Brest made an impression but we have to move on from that. We changed players a lot, but we have strong players. We want to control the face of the match. The important thing is to win. ” The tone is set.
The expected compositions
OM : Rulli – Merlin, Brassier, Balerdi, Murillo – Kondogbia, Hojbjerg – Henrique, Harit, Greenwood – Wahi.
Reims : Diouf – Akieme, Agbadou, Okumu, Koné – Munetsi, Fofana, Atangana Edoa – Nakamura, Diakité, Ito.
