Olympique de Marseille falls from very high! On the move on the lawn of the OGC Nice this Sunday evening, the Marseille club clearly did not make the weight in front of a direct competitor for the Top 4 of Ligue 1.. The men of Roberto de Zerbi never knew Really enter their match and came across an Evann Guessand in great shape. After this setback (2-0), the Olympians only have three lengths ahead of AS Monaco (3rd) and four on their evening opponent (4th) at the end of the 19th day. Discover the notes of the Marseillais!
Geronimo Rulli is beaten very quickly in this meeting. The OM porter, however, cannot do much. Not helped by Lilian Brassier, he quickly went out to try to prevent Evann Guessand from scoring (7th). However, it is taken by a stung ball.
On the second goal of the Aiglons (51st), the Argentinian porter seems, this time, to be able to do better. Even if he finds himself too easily face-to-face, the shot of Mohamed-Ali Cho does not seem impregnable. Note all the same his beautiful parade a quarter of an hour from the end of the match.
In the first period, Amir Murillo had been solid. He gives off the head a long ball in the quarter of an hour of play. He did not fail to project himself many times, as at half an hour of play. He is well launched by Geronimo Rulli, but his center is taken up by a Niçois.
At the start of the second half, it’s not the same story. The Panamanian is too easily had on a balloon in depth (51st). He leaves Mohamed-Ali Cho found himself alone facing his goalkeeper.
Fortunately, Leonardo Balerdi was present in Marseille this Sunday evening. The Marseille captain clearly kept his rank. In the first period, he annihilates many Azurean actions. Yet touched at the arcade at the start of the meeting, he knew how to highlight himself.
He notably produces a perfect tackle to save his own (23rd). Then, he won important duels, as in the 36th and 44th minute of play. The Argentinian also managed to create imbalance with his passes, like that made from the 10th minute of play. Like the rest of the Rearguard, it is caught on an in-depth balloon on the second goal from Nice (51st). Without him, the addition could have been much more salty …
A service to forget for Lilian Brassier. He was put in great difficulty by Evann Guessand. And it starts very early, from the 7th minute of play. He loses the ball facing the pressing of his opposite and gets the brushes getting into stride, to let him go alone to the goal. An error that is very expensive since it allows the OGC Nice to score.
He has never really managed to get this mistake. He is still caught up in the 21st minute of play, but is well covered by his goalkeeper. He is also involved in the second goal from Nice (51st). He leaves his place at the time of play at Pol Lirola (NN).
Luis Henrique clearly failed to highlight himself in this meeting. He has not always helped defensive tasks, as in the 23rd minute of play. The Brazilian winger returns far too slowly on a Riviera counter. On the offensive phases, he did not have much to put himself under the tooth. Bilal Nadir (NN) replaces it for the last quarter of an hour of play.
-Valentin Rongier clearly did not have the expected return. He has not succeeded almost nothing. Even if he has taken his chance on several occasions, the tricolor environment has not set the sights. Roberto de Zerbi decided to take him out from the time of play, to bring in Jonathan Rowe (NN).
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg tried to ring the revolt, but failed to do so. As usual, he was able to recover some balloons. He also finds a sublime pass for Quentin Merlin, in the 40th minute of play. His free kick 20 minutes from the end of the meeting does not go far.
Quentin Merlin was not in great success in his left corridor. However, he has situations to highlight himself. However, he was often beaten by Jonathan Clauss. His many centers have never found takers. In addition, he favors individual action in a closed angle, five minutes from the break, while some of his teammates are much better placed in the surface.
He almost missed everything he undertook on the side of the Allianz Riviera. Mason Greenwood chained the missed passes, especially during the first act. Whoever is still the top scorer in Ligue 1 after the 19th day should have raised his level of play to show the way to follow his teammates. This was not the case.
Adrien Rabiot was far too imprecise in this match. The perfect example took place in the 32nd minute of play. The tricolor environment punctuates the opposing midfield, but his pass for Quentin Merlin is too strong. He also has a big opportunity just before the time of play. The opposing goalkeeper nevertheless achieves a beautiful parade.
Neal Maupay’s match was very complicated. It certainly had the ambition to weigh on the Riviera Defense. Finally, the Marseille striker was nonexistent. He never really knew how to take over the opposing defenders. Vaz Robin (NN) replaces it from the time of play.
