Pierre Ménès fears that OM’s defensive errors, observed against Ajax in the Europa League, will cost Marseille dearly against PSG.
A few hours before the Classic between PSG and OM, the Marseillais are clearly not favorites. The recent tensions between managers and supporters, which turned the club upside down to the point of precipitating Marcelino’s departure, have weakened an Olympian team which had already not been particularly calm on the pitch since the start of the season. For Pierre Ménès, the worst is to be feared for the Ciel et Blanc, Sunday evening at the Parc des Princes.
If he appreciated the progress noted Thursday against Ajax (3-3), in the Europa League, for the first time of interim Jacques Abardonado on the bench, the journalist is not convinced that OM will hold up the shock against Kylian Mbappé and the Parisians. “OM reacted well to 2-0 against Ajax. The team showed character. There were plenty of chances on both sides. It was spectacular with good attacks and bad defenses,” he notes in Facing Pierroton his YouTube channel.
For him, the drawn result brought back by the Phocaeans from Amsterdam is therefore ” logic “. But beware of certain defensive mistakes, which could be very costly against the Rouge et Bleu. “The 4-3-3 allowed OM to have more offensive density but defensively, be careful, especially (Chancel) Mbemba. If OM doesn’t correct this against Paris or Monaco, their butts will be all pink at the end of the evening! “, warns the former sniper Channel Football Club.
