Sad week at the Vélodrome. After the elimination in the Coupe de France on Wednesday, Marseille failed to outdistance Lille and Monaco in the race for second place in the French championship on Sunday. A draw against Strasbourg (1-1) where the lack of offensive ideas from the Phocaeans was glaring, as was the nervousness of a group sometimes more focused on duels without the ball than with it.
The few whistles at the end of the match are not misleading. Both the content and the result do not please OM supporters. Their protégés have once again disappointed and show limits in construction. Apart from a few flashes in depth, Roberto De Zerbi’s men have never been able to worry the Alsatians bloc. The latter, sometimes very high with effective pressing and sometimes grouped in front of his surface, adapted perfectly to the Marseillais game.
