While Monaco, Lille and Lyon had dropped points a little earlier in the weekend, OM had the opportunity, in the event of a victory, to distance themselves from second place in the championship. An opportunity that Roberto De Zerbi’s men did not miss by winning 1-2 on the pitch at Roazhon Park thanks to goals from Greenwood and Rabiot. An important victory which satisfied a certain RMC consultant.
Indeed, it was Walid Acherchour who was very complimentary of OM in last night’s After Foot.
“A very mature team! »
The 31-year-old consultant gave his thoughts on the match while talking about the strength of character of the Olympians:
« I found this OM team mature, very mature. After the opening score a little against the course of play for Rennes with the story of the imbroglio around the penalty. (…) They reacted very quickly with this magnificent goal. It shows the strength of character that is in this team, in this group. Behind, they also went to score this second goal with Rabiot just after returning from the locker room. Afterwards, Samba still delayed the deadline because there were one or two big situations where it could have hit the mark. This is an OM team in total control, apart from this penalty story, facing a very, very poor Rennes team. It is a team from Marseille which continues to collect points while the competitors are struggling a little. It is often said that returns at the start of the year are complicated for teams in Ligue 1 but for the moment OM, with the victory against Le Havre and that of this evening, this allows them to move forward calmly with this system of play which, since this match against Lens, has worked completely. »
