OM finished the first quarter of Ligue 1 in third place, on target with their initial objective, namely qualification for the next Champions League. On paper, it’s rather positive, on the ground it’s much more contrasted and irregular. Geronimo Rulli is the very good surprise at the start of the season, while Mason Greenwood and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg are also establishing themselves as OM executives. Overview of the third of the championship.
Rulli, first in class
The goalkeeper’s case took a long time to conclude this summer, between the real-false start of Pau Lopez in Como and the serious injury of Ruben Blanco. Finally, the Catalan left for Girona, Geronimo Rulli (Ajax) and Jeffrey De Lange (Go Ahead Eagles) arrived from the Netherlands. The 2022 world champion got everyone in agreement on the first day, in Brest, where he saved a penalty. He did it again, in Lyon, in an exercise where the last two Marseille goalkeepers (Lopez and Steve Mandanda) did not shine, and produced other brilliant performances (Strasbourg, Montpellier…). With 5,91 average rating in Provencehe also leads the ranking of the best OM players.
