Dumplings and boos tainted the start of the season Steve Mandanda at Olympique Marseille. The Vélodrome wants to find his "Fenomeno" tonight (17:00) against Reims, for the 15th day of Ligue 1. Follow the match live.

The French international cash too many goals for a world champion, 15 goals in 10 games in all competitions for three "clean sheets" only, including two against Caen and Dijon, whose attacks stagnate in the last quarter of the rankings. His hand fault in Amiens instilled the shadow of a doubt: the cat no longer reigns as before, is no longer so decisive.

The ex-Marseille coach Élie Baup has noted "some unusual goals for a goalkeeper of this level," he told AFP, faults he recognized himself, as in the last match, but this had no consequences " , since OM won in Picardy (3-1) after the blunder of Mandanda, erased by a triplet of his" brother "Florian Thauvin.

At the Licorne, "he also made two big parries in the second half, he allowed us to win the match, said Rudi Garcia.The clean big goalies, that's it, be tough and stay in the game after a mistake ".

Catch the white year in England

Former goalkeeper himself, Baup had Mandanda under his command for a season and a half at La Commanderie, from 2012 to late 2013, when he ran the OM. "I'm not worried," says the technician, for him it's just "a passage" for which he sees "a lot of reasons."

There was first "some injury" since his return to OM in the summer of 2017, and then "like all players returned from this World Cup, there was not a decompression, but a management of the season that comes pretty difficult, " said the consultant for the BeIN Sports channel. And above all, "he must still catch up this year in England" where he has not played at Crystal Palace (2016-2017).

"After a year of absence of competition, it takes so much to come back, it's a bit like a serious injury, at those ages (Mandanda is 33 years old, ed), when you spend so much time without playing, he It takes time to regain the regularity he had before leaving for England, " says Baup.

Last year "Il Fenomeno" released some great matches, as in Lille, but also committed a blunder in two of the most important games, in Lyon on a free kick by Nabil Fekir (2-0), and a raise risky that resulted in the fatal error of Frank Anguissa for the first goal of Atletico Madrid in the Europa League final (3-0).
