This weekend, Ligue 1 clubs including OM enter the Coupe de France in the 32nd finals of the latter. A competition that has eluded OM for 35 years and its victory against AS Monaco 4 to 3 in 1989.
In the show he hosts on RMC “ Rothen ignites », the former Parisian spoke without reservation of the long drought of the Marseille club in this competition.
“Luckily it’s a priority! »
The RMC consultant therefore gave his opinion following repeated comments in recent weeks from the Commanderie, stating a clear desire to go all the way in this competition: “ When you go so many years without winning trophies, fortunately the Coupe de France is a priority when your name is Olympique de Marseille (…) It is an anomaly, even a scandal that Marseille since 1989 has not had won the Coupe de France! »
To be able to complete this competition and its ambitions, OM will first have to pass the green obstacle this Sunday afternoon at the cauldron (2:45 p.m. on BeinSPORT)
Which eleven against ASSE?
For this match Roberto DeZerbi will have to do without Pol Lirolavictim of a right rib fracture andAlexis Koum who suffers from a hamstring injury and without forgetting Faris Moumbagnastill in the rehabilitation phase and carbonout for the season. The Italian coach will therefore have choices to make to get through this round of 32 of the Coupe de France without any problems.
Kondogbia or Brassier?
De Lange should start in goal, with a central defense probably made up of Balerdi et Kondogbia (or Brassier). Murillo is expected to animate the right side while Quentin Merlin or Garcia will animate the left side. Højbjerg et Rabiot should still hold the midfield unless De Zerbi gives playing time to Ismaël Koné or Bilal Nadirwhile Rongier will certainly be returned to third place in midfield. Greenwood, Henry (or Rowe) should be established on the wings while Maupay will certainly be renewed at the forefront of the attack sinceElye Wahi is still uncertain.
The probable OM eleven:
Probable starting lineup: De Lange – Murrilo, Balerdi (cap), Kondogbia (or Brassier), Merlin (or garcia) – Rabiot (or Koné-Nadir), Hojbjerg, Rongier – Greenwood, Luis Henrique (or Rowe), Maupay
