The overall situation of Olympique de Marseille is not reassuring. The sporting level and management of the club worry observers, including Carine Galli.
Olympique de Marseille’s chaotic season continues as best it can. Eliminated last August in the third preliminary round of the Champions League, the club then sank into crisis with the departure of Marcelino, replaced on the bench by Gennaro Gattuso. But the Italian coach does not seem to have the key that would allow his team to raise its head. In difficulty in the championship, OM currently occupies eighth place in the standings and remains on a bad run of four games without the slightest victory (three draws and one defeat). Enough to make some say that the evil is perhaps even deeper than it seems.
For Carine Galli, the picture is black for Marseille. And not just on a sporting level. The channel’s journalist The Team gave his point of view on Wednesday, in response to the call for sacred union made by the Marseille president, Pablo Longoria. “ These meetings, constantly, at some point you actually have to stop. It makes no sense. Afterwards, Friday, it could be enough to beat Metz (9 p.m., 21st day of Ligue 1), but it will have nothing to do with the meeting. Metz is a team in great difficulty, which also lost last weekend against Lorient who is also in great difficulty. »
“Clear lack of talent”
Recalling that “ the Marseillais are still undefeated » at home this season in the championship, Giovanni Castaldi’s partner joked in anticipation by explaining that if OM won against the Garnets, ” there is (would) be nothing to throw into the Old Port “. Carine Galli then resumed her analysis: “ There are a lot of problems in this team. I don’t find that the players are not 100% or cheating. I find that there is an obvious lack of talent and that there is a coach who never manages to reverse a situation that is not favorable to his team. And that’s still the problem. »
Then the journalist continued her uncompromising presentation: “ There are no players who have progressed. You can have very average players and overperform a little. In Marseille, there isn’t that at all currently. You won matches before the end of the year against very bad players, we are not going to hide. Lyon had the lead in the jump, Lorient, Rennes, etc. And as soon as it gets a little stronger, you can’t win. It’s alarming. »
