OM will face ASSE twice this December. According to L'Equipe, a big blow has just hit the Saint-Etienne club.
Olympique de Marseille will make two trips to Saint-Etienne this December. The first will take place this weekend for the 14th day of Ligue 1. Before this historic shock in the French championship, the Greens saw bad news fall. Indeed, according to L'Equipe, Yvann Maçon is injured. This injury will keep him away from the field until 2025, so he will not be able to participate in the double confrontation against OM.

Dugarry is frightened by the level of play proposed by De Zerbi!
Dugarry begins by recognizing OM's good start, emphasizing the importance of supporter support: “It’s a relief, I’m sure. That the supporters are behind the players, so much the better because having a season with the supporters against you is terrible. » However, the victory against Monaco was not enough to convince the former striker. He describes the match as “catastrophic” and deplores a Marseille performance marked by technical errors and a lack of rhythm: “I found that to be a weakness, it’s playing ball. »

The consultant also points out the slowness of the game and the tendency to multiply backwards passes. “The left side is slow, he doesn't have the level with Rabiot who is even slower than him. » He particularly criticizes Adrien Rabiot et Mason Greenwoodwho, according to him, accumulated technical faults: “The number of technical fouls from Rabiot and Greenwood, Monaco gives them the match. » Dugarry believes that the two goals scored by OM are primarily due to defensive errors by Monaco and not to any real offensive action by Marseille: “Even the two goals they are not going to get them, there are two grotesque mistakes from the Monegasques. »
A lack of offensive initiative
Dugarry also deplores the lack of creativity and verticality in OM's game. According to him, the team too often settles for lateral passes and lacks offensive initiative: “There is a problem in midfield, it plays too sideways, the play in the corridors is insignificant. There's nothing, I didn't see anything! »
In conclusion, despite an important victory, Dugarry remains skeptical about OM's level of play, believing that the team must improve its fluidity and its offensive play to confirm its ambitions in Ligue 1.
