THE TOPS
He is without a doubt the best Olympian of the match. As in Lyon last week, the Argentine goalkeeper saved his team on numerous occasions, notably in the 33rd minute of play during a face-to-face with Emegha. He can’t do much about the Alsatian goal scored by Moreira in the 40th minute of play. He is logically the only “top” on the Marseille side.
Marseille’s biggest chances were caused by Mason Greenwood. Author of a rather timid start to the match, he put Moreira in difficulty on his left lane. He first worried Petrovic in the first half on a corner played with two players. Returning from the locker room, he came close to equalizing, first in the 55th minute on a back serve from Harit, then a few minutes later (70th), his attempt from the left narrowly missing Petrovic’s target. . Lonely.
In ten minutes, the Swiss full-back showed desire, intensity and also delivered two good crosses which worried the Strasbourg side. There is definitely something better for someone who has been an Olympian since January.
The Canadian international made some well-intentioned interventions. Despite everything, an average performance, as OM suffered from the Alsatian attacks in the first period. A decent match with a good return on Emegha at the end of the match.
He came close to scoring on his first opportunity in the 66th minute of play. Launched from deep, he eliminated the Strasbourg defense before trying his luck, but he came up against Petrovic. After this situation, the former Nice player did not stand out.
Good passes, but also dangerous ball losses, the first in the OM jersey of Adrien Rabiot was not perfect, but we will wait before judging him.
Shy entry for Jonathan Rowe who didn’t really have a dangerous situation.
A timid entry for the Argentinian international, who did not show much in a period where there were nevertheless some spaces.
Associated with Geoffrey Kondogbia, the Canadian midfielder suffered, like his counterpart, from the intense pressure of the Alsatians. However, he was able, on a few occasions, to break lines and allow his team to move forward. He was injured in the 62nd minute of play.
He also escaped the “flop” despite a disappointing performance. Sometimes overwhelmed by Nanasi, he was also messy with the ball, lacking precision on certain crosses. However, he had a lot of activity on his right lane to try to bring danger.
Shy performance from the young Brazilian. He rarely provoked on his left lane and worried the Strasbourg defense, except for a strike not powerful enough to worry Petrovic (32nd). Valentin Carboni replaced him in the 71st minute of play.
Placed in central defense, the Marseille captain was far from his standards at the start of the season. He did not seem comfortable in this positioning and had great difficulty managing the speed of Emegha, the Strasbourg striker. A first real error of judgment for Roberto De Zerbi?
We saw the Kondogbia of bad evenings again. Often too slow, he lost valuable balls for his team and suffered, like Ismaël Koné, from Strasbourg’s waves in midfield. More is expected of a player of his caliber when his team is struggling.
Once again, the former Brest player appeared feverish in many situations. Positioned on the left of the Olympian defense, he was very often put in danger by opposing attackers. With the ball at his feet, we still feel hesitant. Ulisses Garcia replaces him at the very end of the match (83rd).
The matches follow one another and are similar for the young Marseille striker. The Olympian number 9 did not have many balls to play, but very often negotiated them poorly. He was replaced by Jonathan Rowe in the 63rd minute of play. A goal from him would do everyone good…
The Moroccan international achieved almost nothing this evening at Meinau. He continued to lose the ball, including the one which led to Strasbourg’s first goal by Moreira in the 40th minute of play. However, the attacking midfielder could have been a decisive passer after a nice overflow followed by a nice pass for Mason Greenwood, who saw his shot perfectly deflected by the Strasbourg goalkeeper (55th). But it’s the only spark in a match spent in total darkness. He is replaced by Neal Maupay in the 63rd minute.
