This is the match that everyone in France is waiting for. This Sunday, Olympique de Marseille hosts Paris Saint-Germain at the Stade Vélodrome in a Classic which promises to be hot for the 9th day of Ligue 1.
Third in the standings with 3 points behind its historic rival, OM would like to strike big in this championship and finally compete with PSG. Nevertheless, the Olympians will have to pull out all the stops against Luis Enrique’s men who are performing well away in Ligue 1 and who are mainly left with 2 scathing victories against the Marseillais last season (6-0 over the 2 matches). .
In the show Rothen Ignites on RMC Sportthe 1998 world champion Christophe Dugarry believes that OM must compete with the Parisians and that it would be a disappointment if this were not the case.
“ I think it would be a terrible disappointment if Marseille were not able to respond to this Paris Saint-Germain. We talked about players, we talked about recruitment, we talked about shareholder investment, all the lights are green. I expect Marseille to do a lot of harm to Paris Saint-Germain. Winning, we all know what football is and a whistle from the referee or a defensive error… We don’t know what can happen. But I expect Marseille to pose a lot, a lot of problems. I don’t expect anything else, I don’t expect getting closer (to PSG). No, that’s it. You have to go there. As I said at the start of the season, you have to be able to dream. »
Before continuing: » These players from Olympique de Marseille must all be able to play at 120% because that will be the only solution to move this Paris Saint-Germain which still seems to be inhabited by such a lack of confidence in its collective. It will be a difficult match, that’s for sure. But I also want to find out what tactics will be put in place by the coach who has a reputation and who is a quality coach. I have doubts. I have doubts but with great hope. I’m really looking forward to this match. »
