Has OM really strengthened during the offseason? For Christophe Dugarry, the Marseille club is clearly not armed enough to look good in the Champions League.
This is not the first time in its history, but Olympique de Marseille has succeeded
the feat of initiating a crisis While the first day of Ligue 1 had just ended. While the Marseille club must again participate in the Champions League this season, the level of its current workforce raises questions.
According to Christophe Dugarry, at Timme T, Roberto de Zerbi has a less competitive group than that of the previous exercise. And the situation could worse if OM separates fromAdrien Rabiot in the coming days.
“He still expects four players today. I see the players announced, and it scares me. Are we sure Murillo, Cornelius, Garcia, Angel Gomes .. All that has the shell to play the C1? For me OM, with the workforce of last season, they had what it needed. You took a center-forward to relieve Gouiri and you needed three defenders, and for me your workforce was solid. There, I have the impression that it goes a little in all directions, it remains a week to buy four players … “explained the sports consultant on Wednesday on RMC.
The end of the transfer window will be crucial for OM
The Recruitment of OM hardly inspires the 1998 world champion. “I saw the names, I wish them to succeed, but they are illustrious unknown for the most part,
he notes. We are not even sure that they have the level to play the first three places in Ligue 1. I hope that De Zerbi will find the right formula but I am quite worried about OM. For me today, in addition by losing Rabiot and the little Rowe, OM is less good than the end of last season. You lose Rongier, Merlin … In front of there are people, but in the middle and behind, they did not strengthen themselves. You have lost confirmed Ligue 1 players, so I'm not sure OM is better this year. »»
OM will know its opponents in the Champions League this Thursday evening, after the draw made in Monaco from 6 p.m. As a reminder, the Marseille club appears in hat 3 and should therefore cross the road to formidable European displacements in the coming weeks.
