While Paris Saint-Germain has a comfortable lead over AS Monaco and Olympique de Marseille, Dominique Sévérac, journalist at Le Parisien, did not fail to tackle Marseille's ambitions.
At the start of the season, Roberto De Zerbi's Olympique de Marseille was particularly surprising. By gleaning 13 points out of 15 possible after the first 5 matches of the season, many Marseille supporters and other observers of the club already saw OM competing for the title with Paris Saint-Germain. Since the players had to answer questions about this at a press conference and displayed their ambitions as a result, the club no longer managed to perform as well as at the start of the season. A situation that Dominique Sévérac, journalist at Le Parisien, does not hesitate to criticize. The latter did not mince his words regarding the start of the Marseille rival's season.
Dominic Sévérac knocks out OM
In an article published in Le Parisien this Friday, Dominic Sévérac precisely mentions the lead that Paris Saint-Germain has over the competition. For him, the symbolic title of autumn champion has no chance of returning to AS Monaco and even less to Olympique de Marseille. All this, without hiding Marseille's ambitions. “ The competition remains weak, Marseille having deflated on the field after boasting at a press conference about their ability to compete for the title this season. The Phocéens were perhaps talking about the title of the most shaky team in Ligue 1, for which they are really competing », blurted the Parisian journalist, visibly inspired by the fall of OM in terms of results.
Words which will logically continue to fuel the rivalry between the two clubs. Olympique de Marseille had, however, already had the opportunity to come back on their great rival in the championship during the reception of Paris Saint-Germain at the Vélodrome. But after 3 goals conceded in the first half, Marseille's ambitions to put pressure on PSG were nipped in the bud.
