One week away from hosting PSG in its lair at the Vélodrome, OM, which paid a vibrant tribute to Bernard Tapie, had to win against Lorient after a series of three games without a win in Ligue 1 (2 defeats, 1 draw ). A goal achieved by the men of Jorge Sampaoli and with the manner, since the Phocaeans managed to register four goals after being behind in the first quarter of an hour. More than the offensive festival, it is the feeling of having regained the energy of the first days that tends to reassure before a crucial week which will first see the Olympians go to Rome to face Lazio (Thursday, 6:45 p.m.) then welcome Paris to their volcano. Symbol of the dynamism displayed against the Merlus, Mattéo Guendouzi, also a scorer and perhaps a double scorer (for the moment the 4th Marseille goal is attributed to Mendes in csc), launched the shock next Sunday against the Parisians by announcing that the ‘OM was going to grab the three points. “With this fervor here at home, I know that we can do something very well”, delivered the one who carried out his first years of training at PSG before continuing to Lorient. And to add: It’s going to be a great game to play and we will do everything to win it. I believe in my team and I’m sure we’ll take the three points. “
OM have not beaten at the Vélodrome for almost ten years
Marseille supporters have been waiting for success at the Vélodrome against PSG for almost ten years. The most recent dates back to November 27, 2011, at the start of the club’s takeover by the Qataris. OM won (3-0) in a meeting where there was no photo. Loïc Rémy, Morgan Amalfitano and André Ayew were the scorers of a team still coached by … Didier Deschamps. Since then, the Marseillais, if they have often bowed on their land, have however fought beautiful battles against the club of the capital. As in 2012 when Gignac had responded to a double from Zlatan Ibrahimovic (2-2), in 2015 where they had not unworthy with Bielsa (2-3) or in 2017 where they had almost won before being joined in the saves because of a superb free kick from Cavani (2-2). In 2020, André Villas-Boas’s OM ended nine years without a win against Paris Saint-Germain thanks to a goal from Florian Thauvin at the Parc des Princes. Sunday, October 24, the two rivals will face each other for the 101st time in their history.
