Author of its best phase going to the league in the 21st century from an accounting point of view, Olympique de Marseille impresses several of its former coaches, admiring the work of Igor Tudoret who dream…
Igor Tudor is unanimous among his predecessors.
Olympique de Marseille Marcelo Bielsa version just has to behave! Crowned autumn champion in 2014-2015 with a total of 41 points halfway through, this team which will never remain in the memory of the supporters has been supplanted this season!
Even if they are only 3rd in the standings, the Marseillais in the Igor Tudor version have 42 units on the clock after 19 days, which is OM’s best total in the 21st century at this stage of the season.
A. Emon – finish the season ahead of Paris and Lens
It’s a crazy thing, a standard accumulation of points. But the worst thing is that you are third because Paris and Lens are also doing an extraordinary career , underlined the ex-coach of the Marseille club, Elie Baup (2012-2013), this Monday in the columns of the newspaper La Provence. If the coach in the cap prefers to remain measured as to OM’s chances of winning a first French championship title since 2010, his predecessor Albert Emon (2001-2002, 2006-2007), does not hesitate to cross the not !
I have the feeling that this team can beat the two teams in front of them. By that I mean finishing the season ahead of Paris and Lens in the league. I really think so , launched the technician. It must be said that OM, brilliant winners of Lorient (3-1) on Saturday, are only 5 lengths behind the Parisian leader, struggling at the start of the year. The Marseille club has just scored six consecutive victories in the league since its elimination from the Champions League and gives off a real impression of collective strength. All while producing fun, forward-looking football.
The calendar asset
And precisely, the lighter calendar of the second part of the season, without European cups to dispute, could make the difference according to another former member of the house, Rolland Courbis (1997-1999), who enjoys watching the matches of the OM. I enjoy it, of course. You can ask 50 people and you’ll get the same answer 50 times. But I didn’t pay the same compliments when we had a match every three days. Now, with one match per week, which makes recovery and reflection easier, and with the management of the five changes, this OM-l is simply unplayable slipped the RMC consultant.
I don’t think it’s pretentious to look at what Paris is doing… Because they have matches every three days. The match against PSG, which is being played in Marseille (February 26, editor’s note), can be decisive. Dreaming is not forbidden , continues the Southerner. If they are right not to set limits, the Marseillais will however have to keep a cool head. With Bielsa, we were at the top a few days from the end, before finishing at the foot of the podium. With Gerets, we thought that the title was promised to us before becoming disillusioned concludes Emon cautiously.
