Sunday evening, OM gave themselves the right to breathe after worrying performances at the Vélodrome since the start of the season. Roberto De Zerbi's men finally won their second match of the season at home and not against just anyone. Monaco, second in Ligue 1 which is competing in the Champions League, was tamed by the Marseille club (2-1) which therefore remains more than ever in the fight for the top of the table.
If everything was not perfect in this meeting, the Marseillais nevertheless laid some important foundations for the rest of the season. However, this did not prevent some from being very critical of Marseille's performance and the choices of Roberto De Zerbi. Illustration with a certain Raymond Domenech, author of a rather strange analysis of the meeting.
Figures that contradict it
At the microphone of the L'Equipe channel, the former coach of the France team in fact made a strong attack on the tactics of the OM coach, and an offensive animation which remains very lacking in his eyes, based on an observation however contradicted by the figures; “The Monegasques had two shots on goal (in reality, 7, as Foot Marseille points out). (…) The game was rather Monegasque (36% possession in reality), even in the second half (34% possession in reality). (…) There is a shot from (Mason) Greenwood which is crushed, otherwise there is nothing in the offensive game of Marseille (9 shots, 1.94 xG). When (Adrien) Rabiot already plays attacking midfielder, we can ask questions about the organization of (Roberto) De Zerbi,” said Domenech in an analysis that has since inevitably been contested.

To summarize
Former France team coach Raymond Domenech was not kind to OM and De Zerbi's offensive organization. Indeed, despite the victory against Monaco, the offensive animation did not convince him.
