  • Olympique de Marseille will travel to Bordeaux on Sunday during the 25th day of Ligue 1. 

  • The Marseillais have not won in Gironde since 1977. 

  • A match which is still a stake for the supporters despite the current period of crisis which puts the sporting results of the club in the background for some supporters. 

A historic match in a period that is just as important.

Olympique de Marseille travels to Bordeaux on Sunday evening for the 25th day of Ligue 1, where the club has not won since 1977!

A match that takes place in a particular period, after the incidents of the Commandery linked to the anger of the supporters towards Jacques-Henri Eyaud, the dismissal of André Villas-Boas, and the crisis of results that OM is going through.

“From my personal feeling, given what is happening, the athlete is relegated to a secondary level.

No longer being able to go to the stadium as a subscriber is already complicated to follow so much.

As long as there is no renewal, and I am not talking about a change of coach, but a sale of the club, the athlete matters much less.

Whether we win or lose, it will remain complicated in the long term, ”said Basile Bilo, tweeter.

"Finish 15th, but have a change"

A feeling shared by many supporters on this social network, but a match like the one won against Auxerre (2-0) Wednesday in the Coupe de France, remains a breath of fresh air for lovers of OM.

“It's true that whatever happens, if we no longer have OM we miss it.

We will cry in the event of defeats, but if OM don't play for a whole summer we can't take it anymore.

It still remains a cause for hope.

But Eyraud has done us so much harm, and is so detestable, that I prefer to finish 10th or 15th this season and have a change in this club, ”he insists.

“It's true that in normal times, it's a game at stake.

There with the season which is already screwed up… But it remains Bordeaux, it is a bit like against Lyon or Paris where we were told "you have not won for X years".

So if we can win, it won't save us the season, but it will be a little joy to take.

Anyway, we watch the matches, so we can't wish for a defeat either, ”tempers Najet Rami, historical supporter of OM.

"The most important thing is not Eyraud, it is OM"

Pierrot had victories for OM in Bordeaux, he who has been going to the stadium since the 1970s. And all the matches are at stake: “Because when you win, everyone is happy.

That we win and then we will see, we will continue to ask for the departure of Eyraud.

But in this case, the most important thing is not Eyraud, it is OM.

If Thauvin doesn't want to play anymore, we don't care.

Lots of presidents and players have left, and OM have always recovered.

Basically Eyraud does not care that we win, the importance is for ordinary people.

And it would be a great pleasure to beat Bordeaux, ”he recalls.

"If you want OM to lose, it's because you don't like OM," he says, he who finally believes in a victory over Bordeaux.

If Basile Bilo considers that the athlete is in the background for the rest of the season, he still recalls “the importance of this historic match”.

And he sees OM winning.

"You win against PSG for the first time in 10 years, then you lose against Saint-Etienne who had not won with us for 40 years, so this is the season when it can do it", he predicts.
