The show “Le Moscato Show” on RMC was the scene of an acerbic analysis concerning the season of the Olympique de Marseille and the struggle for European squares. Eric Di Meco pointed out the winter mercato as a major disruptive element, breaking the positive momentum that the team was posting before the truce. This observation comes after the Marseille defeat against AS Monaco and in a context where the race for the Champions League is intensifying, with Paris Saint-Germain having already secured the title of champion of France. The former consultant thus highlighted an inverse dynamic for OM, even questioning the cohesion between the coach and the group, contrary to what seems to prevail in Lyon and Lille.

Damien Perquis, a former international defender, corroborated this analysis by pointing to a loss of speed at the Olympique de Marseille, both sporting and mental. He recognized a favourable calendar for the Marseillais in their quest for a place on the podium, but highlighted a “catastrophic” defense and a lack of reactivity in recruitment during the winter mercato, an oblivion that weighs heavily on the ambition to compete in the Champions League. The consultant also noted a decline in offensive efficiency, completing a dark picture for the Phocéan team.

In conclusion, all the observations converge towards a worrying situation for the Olympique de Marseille, where strategic choices and disappointing performances seem to compromise his chances of rising among the elite of French football. The upcoming games are crucial to trying to get the bar right and regain positive momentum, despite the considerable challenges on the way to Marseille players.
