There was no winner between LOSC and Olympique de Marseille (1-1) this Saturday and yet, it was Lille who pocketed the good points.
LOSC's last opponent, Olympique de Marseille remained on a series of three consecutive victories, including two at home. However, Roberto De Zerbi's men still had to prove that they had overcome the pressure of the Orange Vélodrome, where they only have the fourteenth record in Ligue 1. They were unable to confirm this new dynamic against Lille this Saturday, a team with which they shared the draw point (1-1) following achievements by Quentin Merlin (17′) and Bafodé Diakité (87′).
“OM are victims of Vélodrome syndrome? Today, she only leaves with one point, it's true, but I think that she was above all a victim of the Lille syndrome, retorted Louisa Necib, rightly launched on the subject on the antennas of BeIN
Sports at the final whistle: “We talked a lot about the sequence of matches in Lille and yet, we never saw a weakness in the athletic or physical aspect. Throughout the meeting, they pushed, put a lot of intensity, went for… They pushed this Marseille team back, especially in the last quarter of an hour. The equalizer is deserved »she judges.
“Marseille was ultra-realistic, ultra-efficient”
The former French international continues: “LOSC could have had some regrets in the first half, since they were unable to make their strong point come true. They had a lot of situations, but lacked efficiency and realism. Conversely, Marseille was ultra-realistic and ultra-effective. They scored on their first offensive situation, their first ball into the penalty area. »
Louisa Necib, regular consultant on the small screen, concludes her analysis by highlighting two points. She first highlights the tactics used, then the spirit of the Lille collective:
“This 4-2-4 really prevented the Marseille block from evolving in the development of the game. We know that they like to start from behind and there was a lot of intensity there. There are ten more matches for one team than the other, but that was not seen at any time. The LOSC was finally rewarded by showing a lot of moral, technical and tactical resources. We are ultimately talking about a team that exudes a lot of maturity”she concludes, under the approving gaze of Bruno Genesio.
