Beaten in Lyon, Olympique de Marseille is having a very complicated winter. Lucas Balerdi did not hide his exasperation after the setback conceded at Les Gones (1-0, Sunday evening.
New disillusionment for Olympique de Marseille. Still looking for their first victory in Ligue 1 in 2024, OM lost on the pitch to Olympique Lyonnais (1-0). The situation is becoming worrying for the Ciel et Blanc, now eighth in Ligue 1 with five points out of fourth place, qualifying for the Champions League. Or at least its dams…
The Marseillais wore masks at the end of the meeting and Lucas Balerdi, interviewed on Prime Video, expressed his dissatisfaction. “We needed to win and we took zero points. We can’t do that. We have to give more, it’s not possible. I think we played, but then we need verticality too, we need to be more aggressive,” he said, turning on his heel before his interlocutor had time to ask another question.
Samuel Gigot also had it bad. “We knew we couldn’t lose, we didn’t do the right thing. We lacked aggression, we were a little too soft, especially for an Olympico. We have to get into them, hurt them. We watched them too much, played too much ball. It’s the worst feeling. We’re going to have a bad week. We must remain united, question ourselves, talk to each other and have a different mentality from Friday (against Metz, 9 p.m.), he whispered, adding: “Losing a match like that is hard to take. We knew the other results which were good for us, there was a chance to be made. We are angry. »
Paradoxically, Gennaro Gattuso wanted to be more measured in front of the microphones. “No one has dominated us since I have been here, but we have always lacked something with goals conceded in the 94th minute, goals that we miss”, he said, believing that “if we had taken the point of the draw, I don’t think it would have been abnormal. In the second half, we created more danger, we were better.”
