Samir Nasri criticizes the management and pressure weighing on OM, pointing out the internal tensions and performances at the Vélodrome.
Samir Nasriex-player ofMarseille Olympicexpressed his disappointment with the current management of the club. According to him, OM suffers from internal dysfunctions which hamper its sporting potential. By evoking a club which “ walk backwards », Nasri points out the excessive intervention of certain leaders not linked to the sporting field. This interference, according to him, creates instability that is harmful to team cohesion.
The consultant of Canal + believes that this situation is not new: internal conflicts would be recurring and would impact the general climate. “ It was already like that last season and it still is today », confides Nasri. He adds that this tension does not entirely explain the team's poor performances, particularly during matches at the Vélodrome.
Pressure at the Vélodrome: a handicap for the players
According to Samir Nasri, the environment of the Vélodrome stadium represents a major psychological challenge for OM players. He describes a team “ overwhelmed by pressure » whenever she plays at home, which harms her performance on the field. When talking about the last matches, Nasri deplores a lack of rhythm and creativity against opponents, particularly when they play in a low block.
« The game plan against Auxerre, facing a very low block, they play 5-4-1. Marseille plays like a bad Manchester City match. They are around the box and they pass without rhythm, without transition, without any player who makes a difference “, says Nasri.
Olympique de Marseille is currently in third place in the Ligue 1 standings after 11 days. The club holds 20 points with 6 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. The arrival of Roberto De Zerbi has aroused ambition to challenge PSG among the Marseillais. However, the club seems more and more distant from its objective.
