No need to have done Maths Sup, the calculations are very simple. Three days before the end of the French championship (with nine points to distribute), Olympique de Marseille can almost say goodbye to qualification for the Champions League after the draw conceded on Sunday evening against Nice. Four points behind Lyon and Lille, OM are also three points behind Rennes.
Suffice to say that the next few weeks promise to be complicated for the Marseille club which will travel to Nantes and Le Havre, before concluding the season against Rennes. Mission impossible, then, for Gerónimo Rulli’s teammates? “We must not give up. There are still nine points to be taken, assured Habib Beye, the Marseille coach, at a press conference. It’s moving away, yes, but as long as nothing is lost, we can’t lower our heads. »
The replacements targeted by Beye
“It’s very clear, the dynamic is not good. But we must not give up, added the man who left Rennes a few weeks ago nine points behind OM. There remains self-esteem, the desire to have a good end to the season and to give pleasure to those who love OM. It’s difficult to go through what we’re going through. I have the impression of not being able to take OM to where they need to be, but we are concentrating on the work, like relentless people. »
Beye then returned to the penalty conceded at the very end of the match, while OM were leading 1-0 and were not particularly threatened. “At 1-0, you have to be much more serious. When I see the action again, things are missing, a lot of things, he regretted. After Lorient, there was a reaction, aggressiveness, situations. And in a case where we don’t master the details, we have to be much better and we punish ourselves. »
“It requires a lot more seriousness. It’s not normal to lose these balloons. It’s difficult to accept because we’ve had opportunities and we’ve seen very good things. But for some, among the entrants, that is not enough,” he said.
