Olympique de Marseille was again surprised at home by AJ Auxerre (1-3). A situation that Samir Nasri analyzed through the prism of OM's laborious results at the Vélodrome since the start of the season.
Olympique de Marseille cannot do it at home. The Phocéens were beaten for the second time in a row at the Vélodrome by AJ Auxerre (1-3). Once again, OM were trailing 0-3 at the break and found no leverage to put their attackers into orbit.
Samir Nasri commented on this dramatic situation in Marseille. For the legendary Marseille playmaker, several factors explain it. “When they play at the Vélodrome, the players are overwhelmed by pressure. The game plan against Auxerre, facing a very low block, in 5-4-1, Marseille plays like a bad Manchester City match. They are around the box and they pass without rhythm and without transition, without any player making a difference.
This club is working backwards. There is always, at any given moment, a general manager or someone other than the athlete who sows a little discord in the club. It was like that last season and it still is today,” Nasri explained on Canal +.
Marseille will have to face big challenges in the recovery. After the international break, OM will have a series of crucial matches, with a trip to RC Lens, followed by receptions against AS Monaco and LOSC. Between these two home matches, AS Saint-Étienne will welcome the Marseille club to its Chaudron.
The blow is all the more unwelcome as the surprise defeat against AJ Auxerre plunges the team somewhat into a crisis of confidence.
