The debrief
“It will have the capacity to feed imbalances Om” declared Hubert Fournier in the preamble to the shock of the 29th day of L1 between Marseille and Lyon in a Velodrome never so full this season. On paper, the watchword of the Lyon coach seemed to be good. Except that in practice, imbalances Marseille side, there is virtually no had except for the lack of action Lacazette in the first half and the last minutes of the game more complicated after the expulsion Jérémy Morel. The rest of the time, the top scorer of Lyon, alongside Nabil Fekir, never had the opportunity to shine. Blame it on the Marseille team very impressive again in the dry, effort and determination. Highly concentrated and aggressive, Marcelo Bielsa players have perhaps even delivered their best production of the season before these Lyonnais championship leaders since January 11 and had spent five goals to one of the teams of the moment Montpellier.
But cutting continuously transmitting the three opponents (Rachid Ghezzal, not in the shot, has been replaced in Clinton Njie before the break), OM continually stifled a team of OL who never really knew head out of the water. Suffocated in all gambling sectors and harmless to the Gones owe their salvation upon arrival at the delivery again striking their young goalkeeper Anthony Lopes. It has certainly had some luck with this striking of Andre-Pierre Gignac hit came on the amount the only time he was surprised. But its judgments on the attempts of top scorer in the OM or this fantastic Fanni head in the second half owe nothing to anyone.
An action that has created a strong controversy and made fools in Marseille Since Lucas Ocampos, who had thrown himself on the Lyon goalkeeper after this wonderful parade, pushed the ball behind the line without the referee no valid purpose. Despite a performance of high quality and huge efforts to become the sixth team to fall Lyon, Marseille, beaten 1-0 in the first leg against the run of play, so still has not won this victory facing one of the top four. For accounting purposes, OM, which could return up to Paris (beaten in Bordeaux) and a length of his opponent in the evening, let pass the opportunity to revive the title race completely.

Players under the microscope
Marseille
Back in the starting lineup at the expense of OCAMPOS , yet denied a valid goal in any end game and entered in place of the old Bastiais to the hour, THAUVIN has delivered one of his most accomplished games since the beginning of the season. Especially because it was not obstinate to dribble but preferred alternate the short game and the risk taken with great intelligence. When he is not trying to make a difference in each of his balls, he is much more valuable, there is no doubt. It seems that A.AYEW was decreased by pain in the thigh that even practically forced to forfeit. But this has not seen. And once again, the Ghanaian has delivered a copy match determination on its left side. What envy!
Excellent in the axis, PAYET has steadily crept into the spaces. He found some good shifts, several times found his attackers in the depth and was close to opening the scoring on a colossal half-volley. No chance for GIGNAC , which deserved this almost perfect strike twenty minutes from the end or this beautiful head earlier in the game, to be rewarded for his constant efforts at peak. In addition to worrying Lopes, he proposed many solutions. Man of the Match, IMBULA has made a huge game in the skin of this impressive midfield in the tackle and recovery in its ability to close the gaps and raise the ball like a true custodian of the game. The former Guingamp has most benefited Sunday defensive phase of valuable support in the axis of ADI DJEDJE , then replaced with ALOE to enable ROMAO , very good back, drag the middle
Another great man of this meeting. MOREL . The former Lorient was monstrous behind. Always well placed, he multiplied the sharp interventions and demonstrated a permanent authority. His spurts did the most good. Unfortunately, he was sent off late in the game for a very dangerous tackle that deserved that penalty. In common with Imbula warned he could miss the Clasico. Imperial too, FANNI has also displayed a serenity at all times to highlight the balloons. It also took over the ball with a superb header that allowed Ocampos mark on this famous action of the disallowed goal to OM. MENDY has rarely found the right balance in its centers but into the spirit of his team by regularly taking precedence over his opponents. MANDANDA was expecting a lot of work but eventually spent a relatively quiet evening. Not without having released a major parade entry in a face to face with Lacazette then another beautiful too, the very end of the match on a striking Tolisso all the Velodrome saw at the bottom. He also released the big game in stoppage time on another attempt of the young Lyonnais.
Lyon
Officer to assume the role usually attributed to Gourcuff, Ghezzal has consistently thwarted, losing a lot of balls and exploding in the tackle. He has more freedom to leave Imbula he was supposed to curb yet. Hubert Fournier, very upset, therefore had no choice but to play the card NJIE much earlier than expected. This forced Fekir , private ball throughout the game and has been expressed on set pieces, to reposition itself in the heart of the game. But the entrance Cameroonians weaned balls too and little to general, did not change the situation. Especially as Lacazette already transparent for the first 45 minutes, then did not do better. Lyon’s top scorer will curse this confrontation lost hall with Mandanda then it missed in the second half when he had only to adjust his head. On arrival, the most dangerous has been TOLISSO , fell twice on a large Mandanda late in the game.
As a partner in the middle, FERRI , he never panicked and always applied to make the best choice. GONALONS had rarely been shaken this season. But he kept his usual phlegm and has once again demonstrated great accuracy in the game. Although it has faced enormous pressure from opponents, Umtiti has weathered . But his only real mistake of the game, he almost pay full price. Much work also for ROSE , very serious in all its interventions. Very valuable too, JALLET a distant danger many times. Less effective defensively, Bedimo has been working hard regardless. Including accompanying the rare offensive of his team. Expected to turn, LOPES has yet responded. In the wake of his outstanding season, he helped his team not to crack by passing several judgments of beauty. Hopefully too, with a strike Gignac returned by the right post.
Monsieur the referee’s report
After a very good game of his own, has M.Bastien committed two errors répréhensives this action of the disallowed goal in Marseille Ocampos. Already by not whistling misconduct for the dangerous intervention in the Argentine Lyon goalkeeper. Then by not validating the opening of OM score when the ball had indeed crossed the line completely. Replays prove it, but the referee was completely hidden and could not see that ball had crossed the line
It happened behind the scenes …
-. The stadium Velodrome has a new record attendance at the match between the two Olympic with nearly 64,000 tickets sold (1500 Lyonnais had traveled) to attend this shock on top of the 29th day of L1. Friday night, already more than 63,500 seats had been sold. The Vel ‘had already beaten two records attendance this season with 61,846 spectators for the coming of Toulouse October 19 and a little more (62 408) on December 21 upon receipt of Lille.
– With one exception, Hubert Fournier had renewed the eleven winners of Montpellier a week earlier (5-1). Yoann Gourcuff, who played his first game as a starter after more than a month, shone once again by his absence through injury. This time the leader Lyon game suffered from a slight detachment of the fascia femoral biceps. A new package very difficult to digest for Hubert Fournier. “It is an unfortunate against time. We would have preferred to go to Marseille with all our forces, “Lyon coach regretted the week
-. Scored twice against Toulouse in the last game, Michy Batshuayi, also author of a doubled two weeks earlier in Saint-Etienne while only replacing that night, however, has not enjoyed the confidence of his coach to kick off this clash against Lyon. Like Florian Thauvin, yet very disappointing lately, Marcelo Bielsa had decided to relaunch André-Pierre Gignac
-. On the sidelines of the match against Lyon, Dimitri Payet returned in the Canal Football Club on insults hurled against him by Florian Thauvin against Rennes. “It shocked me. (…) I did not say anything. I have enough experience to know things worse, especially in Marseille, it would not have helped either him or me. I preferred to keep working to be competitive, “said Om playmaker, then adding:” In the field, I have an affinity with him (Thauvin) but outside not. “
