Olympique de Marseille won against FC Lorient, this Friday, on behalf of the 4th day of Ligue 1 (4-0).
Moribund fifteen days ago, theOlympique de Marseille made a return to business with a new look. The international break started on a last day of a completely crazy transfer window, where the vice-champion of France struck hard to expand their group for the next deadlines. It was necessary, because the rest of the menu will be generous.
Before a week marked by the return to the Champions League and two dream posters against Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, the training of Roberto de Zerbi had an answer to give. Any other result than a success against the Lorient promoted would have been perceived as a new hook difficult to digest. Despite this electrical context, OM has completed its contract.
More effective in the two areas of truth, the Marseille club put the ingredients necessary to harvest its second victory of the season. Roberto de Zerbi's choices were scrutinized with the equipment available.
OM carried by its recruits
The Italian had the opportunity to concoct a defense at 4, but he opted for a 3-4-3 system. An option that has borne fruit since the Marseillais seemed more compact on defensive transitions.
They largely owe it to the presence of their reinforcements. After opening the Greenwood rapidly on a penalty score (1-0, 13th), Benjamin Pavard unlocked his goal counter of a beautiful powerful head on a corner (2-0, 20th). Lorient played ten following the expulsion of Yongwa (13th).
The recruits made an encouraging beginnings to improve this defensive sector so faulty. But offensively, too, OM has held its rank. Angel Gomes has also taken light with a wonder of half a volley at the entrance to the surface (3-0, 33rd). A well-managed advantage before a fourth logical goal at the end, signed Nayef Aguerd with a beautiful country strike (4-0, 90th+3). Mission accomplished.
