OM clearly dominated Clermont in Auvergne this Saturday evening for the 24th day of L1 (1-5).
So it’s not just a system problem. With five or four behind, like this Saturday evening in Clermont, OM knows how to perform well. The blockage was obviously quite different with Gennaro Gattuso; Jean-Louis Gasset having been able to restore confidence, definitively, to a Marseille group a little less naive and limited than judged until then.
Everything is not yet perfect of course, but with three victories in three outings under the orders of the septuagenarian technician, the Olympians have indeed relaunched – and this is certainly no coincidence. Like Ndiaye who, six days after his demonstration against Montpellier, once again stood out by showing the way to his team (0-1, 23rd).
12 goals in three matches
Boutobba, the former child of OM, even though he equalized at the start of the second half (1-1, 53rd), the Phocaeans did not panic – far from it – quickly put back in the saddle by an Aubameyang of new essential (1-2, 59th); then sheltered by a nice tense shot from Clauss (1-3, 67th). In the final minutes, newcomers Luis Henrique (1-4, 80th) and Moumbagna (1-5, 90th+1) could give more substance to this success.
With 12 goals scored in three matches – three conceded – OM finally lived up to their motto this season. In the rankings, there is still a long way to go but the Marseilles are picking up a little while waiting for the Sunday results, sixth, five points behind the Top 4 qualifying for the C1. A good omen before meeting Marcelino at the Vélodrome on Thursday against Villarreal, in the round of 16 first leg of the Europa League. Clermont, on the other hand, is sinking, the red lantern five lengths from the waterline. Or even more at the end of this championship lift.
