FOOTBALL The Marseillais (4th), which granted a third defeat (1-0) in a row, Friday in Nantes, could be behind by Monaco (3rd) on Saturday …
Olympique de Marseille may have lost more than a game, this Friday night in Nantes. Beaten (1-0) by very well organized Nantais, for the 3rd time in a row in L1, Bielsa’s men (4th) could be up to 4 points behind Monaco (3rd), if it beats Rennes, this saturday. And – 5 days of the term – almost say goodbye to the Champions League at the end of the season.
OM can be relegated to 4 points of the podium Saturday night
In a Beaujoire boiling, Marseille, deprived of Payet (suspended) and Mendy (injured) have found to talk in terms of aggression against Nantes. Arranged in a 4-1-2-1-2 (diamond), the Canaries were pitching a Marseille team devoid of juice and ideas on the offensive side. “They were able to be aggressive and put us under pressure, says defender Nicolas Nkoulou. They played on the counterattack. “And the Nantais have mostly jumped on the first individual fault signed Rod Fanni. Nantes striker Serge Gakpé advantage of a bad pass the OM defender and a slip of the goalkeeper Mandanda to open the scoring (1-0).
A lack of great revolt Marseille
“It can happen to everyone, defends Nkoulou. We win together, we lose together … “At this point, it’s more about defeat for Marseille, which way too sporadic, have endangered the Nantes defense [Riou parade in injury time on a head Fanni including]. “It hurts that one, continues Nkoulou. Until now, it was a beautiful course. It is not necessary that it becomes a mess. We’ll have to scrounge points and do not pay attention to others. “The OM seems no longer control anything today and has also more his destiny in his hands.
Bielsa takes responsibility for the defeat
“ The way we play tonight was negative, says Marcelo Bielsa coach seems short on solutions and springs to revive his group. The collective was insufficient, and that’s my responsibility. Yes, it worries me [for the future]. We are in a clearly negative dynamics. This is the 3rd time we have the opportunity to take the right path, but we have not been able to stop this downward spiral. We will fight to the end to change that. “And try to go at least look for 3rd place.
As for the title, Bielsa legitimately given up on it [7 points behind PSG leader with a game more] “When da ns the final sprint, we lose three in a row. We can not think about the title. “
