Next season, OM should display strong ambitions with the arrival of Roberto De Zerbi. The Marseille club is also thinking big before welcoming PSG on October 27.
OM will start a new era under the orders of Roberto De Zerbi. The Italian coach will be responsible for restoring the image of the Phocaeans and reconnecting with the European Cup. A lot of work awaits the former Sassuolo player, who hopes to be able to count on enormous popular support for his debut in Marseille. Don’t worry too much, the Marseille public should respond, especially against PSG during the Ligue 1 Classic on October 27. Just before, the city of Marseille also wishes to pay a huge tribute to Bernard Tapie by inaugurating a statue of the iconic former president of OM.
Bernard Tapie, the statue will be grandiose
Indeed, after having raised the necessary funds (around 250,000 euros) thanks to a pot, Bernard Tapie’s son, Laurent, finally received authorization from the city of Marseille to inaugurate the statue in homage to his father. “ The statue will be inaugurated on October 25 or 26, before the reception of PSG »he begins in comments reported by The Sports Dailybefore continuing: ” The players ? I don’t know how involved they will feel, but I hope so. For me, that’s one of the functions of this statue is to say, “we are not just any club, we are Olympique de Marseille”. There is no other club in France that can have such a monument. And that, before each match, the supporters must remember it, each time the players enter the pitch, they must remember it.” Note that the exact location of the future statue has not yet been found. “Under the esplanade, it’s empty, and the statue is very heavy, so there are constraints to respect,” finishes Laurent Tapie. But one thing is certain, all OM fans will be able to see it by going to the stadium from the next Classic.
