A spectacular shipwreck! Fifteen days after being soundly beaten at home by Paris SG, OM sank again this Friday, November 9 at the Vélodrome, beaten 3-1 by Auxerre, a promoted team.
Like two weeks ago, it all ended in front of an already half-empty stadium when the final whistle sounded and to the boos of a disgusted public.
All the same, being down 3-0 at the break at home against Paris SG is one thing, but being down against Auxerre is another. The sad defeat conceded 15 days ago in the Classic had hurt OM lovers, but their fury was tinged with a little resignation. Yesterday, the whistles that brought the Marseillais back to the locker room at the break and then at the end of the match were those of pure anger and shame.
Humiliation
With this defeat, OM finds itself within reach of Monaco (3e) and Lille (4e), who will play this weekend, and therefore risks losing their second place. Above all, this fiasco served as a reminder that the project opened this summer by management and directed by Roberto De Zerbi was still in its foundations, at most, and that the task was immense.
In particular, the Marseillais will have to learn to win at the Vélodrome, where they systematically struggle and where they have played five times for a single victory, against Nice. In any case, after the success brought back from Nantes, OM and De Zerbi wanted to continue, to be better in the game. They got nothing.
After the break, we will have to go to Lens and receive Monaco, two other candidates for Europe, to take points and show that the De Zerbi project retains its raison d'être.
