Mercato OM: discussions around a “satellite club” in the region
For several months, Olympique de Marseille (OM) has been exploring the possibility of having a “satellite club” to loan its young players and offer them more playing time at a higher level.
The objective of this strategy is to allow these “minots” to progress in a more competitive environment than the National 3, while offering them better exposure. However, negotiations with two clubs in the region, Martigues and Aubagne, still encounter several obstacles, thus delaying the implementation of this agreement. Here is what Provence explains to us.
FC Martigues: a club in search of experienced players
The FC Martigueswhich plays in Ligue 2, seems more oriented towards reinforcements of experience than towards the integration of young talents from OM. According to sources close to the matter, one of the main blocking points lies in the guarantees requested by OM concerning the playing time of its players. The Marseille leaders are reluctant to integrate young Marseille players without the assurance that they will have a regular place on the field.

Aubagne: financial concerns regarding salaries
On the Aubagne side, it is a financial problem which is slowing down discussions. The club, currently in National, finds itself unable to cover the salaries of young OM players, whose salaries are much higher than those of the Aubagne team. The club would like Olympique de Marseille to cover part, or even all, of these salaries in order to facilitate the integration of young talents.
Conclusion: A possible agreement, but not before the end of the season
Although an agreement with Martigues or Aubagne is still possible, Marseille leaders prefer to take the necessary time to evaluate all options. OM remains open to discussions, but it seems that financial and sporting obstacles will have to be overcome before a concrete solution emerges.

Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg underlines the importance of organization and tactical balance, particularly for a player evolving in the axis of the game. “When you are in the middle of the field, in the center of the game, it is important to maintain order. I'm not a player like Neymar or Haaland, who can make the team win single-handedly even in average matches. I'm a player who needs the team, and I think everyone has a role to play in making the bike work. Some will have to accelerate, others slow down a little. I want everyone to take responsibility for their role, it is in these cases that the team becomes very strong. » For Höjbjerg, it is the complementarity between the players that makes the strength of a collective. He highlights the importance of respecting balance and tactical discipline to guarantee the success of the team.

The importance of collective responsibility according to Höjbjerg
The Danish international continues the idea of shared responsibility within the group, insisting on the fact that each player, whether starting or replacing, plays a fundamental role in the success of the team. “Everyone has a role to play once again. If we have a medal at the end, we will all have the same one. This is why it is important that everyone understands their role in training, in matches, in the locker room. Some players are not going to play too much this season but they have a big responsibility to make the sessions even harder. » This statement highlights the importance of every player's involvement, even those who play less often. The collective is also built through the efforts of those who, although less exposed, actively participate in the smooth running of training and the quality of the preparation.
Conclusion: OM and collective success according to Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg
For Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg, the key to success at Olympique de Marseille lies in commitment and collective solidarity. Each player, whether on the field or not, must understand the importance of their role in the overall functioning of the team. The Danish player recalls that OM's success relies on everyone's involvement, and not just the stars visible on the pitch.
