Winner at Stade Rennais last night 1-2, OM were able to take advantage of the missteps of Monaco, Lille and Lyon to widen the gap in second place in the championship. A 5th success in the last 6 championship matches which also allows the Olympians to temporarily return to 4 points behind PSG before their match this Sunday evening against Saint-Étienne. Good form which still maintains the hope of a championship title for former Olympian Rod Fanni…
The man with 198 appearances in the Marseille jersey has in fact, on the air of RMC, mentioned that he still believed in the ability of the Olympians to dethrone PSG at the end of the season.
“There are players with strong character and serenity! »
Guest of the show RMC, « Stephen Brunch“, the former Marseille player therefore cited all the reasons why he still saw OM capable of tickling PSG this season:
« This season (so far) I’ve seen it in three phases. At the start of the season, Marseille showed some super interesting things and I was among the first to praise it and almost get excited, even if I never get excited, especially with OM. Then I became very disillusioned when I saw the lack of character against PSG (…) but there for some time, and in particular through this match (Rennes-OM) (…) I see a team that everywhere where she goes, whether at home or away, who keeps the ball! Whether they concede a goal or score, the serenity remains there, the midfield is XXL. We have players who are strong in character and calm. Even players who were considered average like Luis Henrique or others, they took two steps higher, they panic more, they produce play. Everyone starts to score. Yesterday at the end of the match, there were very strong signs, when I saw the end image where they are going to take this photo all together in front of the park. For me these are extremely strong signals that this is becoming more than a good team, a real family. (…) It can be one of the ingredients that can surprise everyone and I think they have the ability to tickle PSG who are not as serene as that. »
