Marseille Olympian coach Roberto De Zerbi unveiled the composition of his team for the first game of the new season of Ligue 1, which awaits them in Rennes. The typical team includes Rulli as goaltender, Murillo and Egan-Riley in central defence, Balerdi and Kondogbia in side defence, Højbjerg and Gomes in midfield, Rabiot and Rowe as offensive media, Greenwood and Gouiri to complete the attack. This match marks the launch of the championship broadcast by the Ligue1+ channel, which will offer a full coverage from 7:15 pm with the comments of Xavier Domergue and Benoît Cheyrouser.

For both teams, this meeting is an important first test to assess their form and preparation. Rennes aims to make a strong impression in front of its audience at the beginning of the season, while OM hopes to confirm the progress made during the pre-season and implement the game principles put in place by Roberto De Zerbi. The coach expressed his satisfaction with the increasing competitiveness of his team and the loyalty of his key players, highlighting the difficulty of finding a club comparable to OM.

De Zerbi recognizes the presence of his former players, Valentin Rongier and Quentin Merlin, now in Rennes, but minimizes the potential impact of this mutual knowledge on the outcome of the game. He warned that the meeting would be difficult for both teams, stressing the unpredictability of modern football. This first day of Ligue 1 will therefore be a major challenge for OM, which will have to show its strength and potential in the face of a motivated Rennes at home.
