The new pressure from Villas-Boas

André Villas-Boas took advantage of the post-match conference in Saint-Etienne to send a new message to his leaders.

TheOlympic Marseille spent a peaceful evening in the Cauldron. Ideally launched by Dimitri Payet, the author of a real masterpiece from the first minutes of the match, the Marseillais did not have too much to do to dominate Saint-Etienne (0-2), Nemanja Radonjic coming to make the brand worse at the end of the match

What to forget the two draws conceded in a row against Angers (0-0) and Bordeaux (0-0) and especially to consolidate their second place in the standings. At the end of the 23e day, OM has posted 46 points on the clock, six steps ahead of the third and especially nine on the fourth place, which the Losc has to make do with for the time being. A return to the Champions League therefore appears more relevant than ever, which is not without causing some tension in the ranks of Olympians.

André Villas-Boas, like his players, fears that OM will let several of its executives leave during the next summer transfer window. The fault of the need for the Olympian club to replenish its coffers in order to stay in the nails set by financial fair play. Author of an outing for the least noticed on the subject last month, the Portuguese technician gave a layer to the microphone of Canal + after the victory of the Marseillais at Geoffroy-Guichard, repeating that disputing the Champions League supposes being able to rely on a supplied workforce. In quality as in quantity.

“Now is not the time to talk about this. We are fine but we cannot anticipate a scenario, he explained. Me like Dim (Payet), we talked about that. We work a whole season to qualify for an elite competition, you have to be there to play the competition but also in the interest of France through the UEFA coefficient. “

“Leaving the Champions League or the Europa League with a point is not good for our football. But we cannot anticipate the scenario, he continued. First, we must qualify, then we will see with management to find solutions for the good of OM. Most importantly, the good from OM and OM supporters. “
