The supporters were there, well before the kick-off of this 9th day of Ligue 1. Closed counters, record attendance, magnificent tifosthe people of Marseille responded. The players never really got on the pitch. Not counting Amine Harit who had the chance to return to the locker room at the 20th minute after a red card certainly severe, but because of a high foot on Marquinhos. He was able to take his shower earlier than expected while his teammates waited the rest of the match to be able to take theirs after leaving the pitch with the score 0-3.
“I can’t accept the shame” – A South Bend supporter
If the players were on the pitch despite their absolute transparency for 90 minutesthe stands really emptied, and we started to see the white seats of the Vélodrome well before half-time.
“Shame, disgust, anger” says Mehdi, a Marseille supporter who left the stadium in the 35th minute. “I never did it, I believe that you have to be there until the end. But that was not possible, I am ashamed, ashamed of this team, ashamed of these players, I cannot accept the shame” says this subscriber at the south turn.
And this silence at half-time. Silence at the Vélodromecan you imagine? Hard to imagine, but the stadium did have a slump, dazed by the spectacle on the pitch. The top of the north turn tried to wake up a little the courageous Marseillais still anchored to their seats, cracking of smoke and catchy songs in the 75th minute, enough to warm up the atmosphere for a few minutes, but insufficient to change the appearance of the match on the pitch .
Final score: 3-0, buts from Joao Neves, Balerdi's counter-camp and goal by Bradley Barcola. “It’s always when we start to believe that this team disappoints us” summarizes Patrick, another supporter who left the stadium at half-time. At least, Marseille supporters will stop believing in it for a while.
For its part, PSG took advantage of Monaco's defeat against Nice to take sole lead in the standings with 23 points. OM remains third with 17 points. Next meeting for the Marseillais: trip to Nantes next Sunday (8:45 p.m.).
