Sunday evening (8:45 p.m.), Olympique de Marseille will host Le Havre on the occasion of the 16th day of Ligue 1. The opportunity for Roberto De Zerbi's gang to strike a big blow since Monaco lost against PSG before the winter break. Result of the races, OM could take three points ahead of the Principality club in the race for second place and come back to seven points behind Paris. The momentum is good for the Marseillais, who have four victories (and a draw) in the last five matches in all competitions.
OM players “disgusted” with the truce?
So much so that La Provence makes a big revelation about the state of mind of the players. Indeed, they would have been “disgusted” to go on vacation after the brilliant qualification for the Coupe de France won against ASSE (4-0) because “they had found their cruising speed”. As a reminder, the Olympians returned to training on December 31 and seem to be riding a real dynamic, reinforced by a cohesion training course in Mallemort but also by an express stay in Denmark.
“We organized this because we hadn't had a moment like that this season, lots of players arrived after the transfer window. I've had this idea for a while. We are looking for certain elements and I think that has put us on the right path. I am proud of my experienced players. They too have a responsibility. The others must follow them. Having these players on the team means having examples. Those who are not up to character must follow them” said De Zerbi about this internship. An idea that won over Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg: “It's not that different from what we do during the season, after all. The goal was to get to know each other even better. We intensified the things we wanted to work on. It's more intense on the human side. It did me good too. Being with each other 24 hours a day feels good. There is only one way to do it, you must continue to take responsibility, take matters into your own hands, represent the values of OM.”
