Olympique de Marseille experienced a slight setback (defeat in Strasbourg, draw against Angers) after an excellent start in Ligue 1. However, their next opponent continues to see them as a contender for the title, or even more…
OM will travel to Montpellier this Sunday, October 20 for the eighth day of Ligue 1. The Pailladins are in difficulty at the start of the season (17th with four small units) but their president, Laurent Nicollin, is optimistic for the future with a more lenient calendar to come.
With the exception of the reception of the Olympians whom he sees as the future champion of France. He explained it in an interview with Midi Libre: ” There is an important match against Olympique de Marseille, it would be good to try to catch the future champion of France. If we can take at least one point from him, that would be good, but it will be complicated. (…) Afterwards, we are missing a lot of people between the suspended ones, the last minute injured who are added to the long-term injured… We would like, especially the coach, to have a lot more players available. I hope that for Marseille we will recover some of them. They showed against Auxerre and Monaco, even in Reims (4-2 defeat), that the state of mind at the start of the season has changed. »
An old-fashioned bluff to put pressure on your opponent or a real prediction?
I want to say bravo — Dugarry
Christophe Dugarry admitted to having changed his mind regarding Pablo Longoria. “Yes, I changed my mind about Longoria. I was very hard on him, I had the impression that he was missing the point and that he was a troublemaker. Afterwards, he is a president who is not afraid to do things. He is hyperactive, sometimes too much, sometimes it went in all directions and it was sometimes incomprehensible. But he came up with ideas, he took responsibility even if he was wrong. When someone recognizes their mistakes I like it, no one has the truth in football. What OM has become today is coherent, you have De Zerbi, Hojbjerg, Rabiot. He managed to convince his shareholder to hand over money at a complicated time. I want to say well done. »
