The arrival of Roberto De Zerbi has done Olympique de Marseille some good. While many consider the club from Bouches-du-Rhône to be the one capable of beating the team from the Paris region this year, Rio Mavuba does not share this opinion. He nevertheless hopes to witness a great rivalry.
L’Marseille Olympics is in the race! After their victory victory against theOGC Nice (2-0) at the Stade Vélodrome, the men of Roberto De Zerbiretain their second place Ligue 1. They are following the Paris Saint-Germain and are candidates for the title.
OM: a serious candidate
After a disappointing end to the 2023/2024 season, theMarseille Olympics is getting back on its feet. As a reminder, OM finished in eighth place in Ligue 1. The Olympians therefore did not have the opportunity to play in the major European competitions. During the summer transfer window, Pablo Longoria And Medhi Benatia have brought Roberto De Zerbi in Marseille. After a successful transfer window and a “radical change” imposed by the former Brighton coach, the Marseille club has undergone a metamorphosis. Since the resumption of Ligue 1, Roberto De Zerbi’s men have not lost once. They emerged victorious from their matches against Brest, Toulouse And Nice and drew against Reims. They will face theOlympic Lyonnais next sunday and the Paris Saint-Germain end of October.
“I don’t think OM can win the title this season”
Mavuba River spoke about the team led by Roberto De Zerbi and expressed skepticism about their chances of winning the championship. “I don’t think theMarseille Olympics can win the title this season,” believes the former LOSC captain. “Because it seems to me that Paris will have a good head start in the championship. I even hope that OM will tease them for as long as possible,” he adds.
