• OM beat Stade Rennais this Sunday afternoon (2-0) for the 6th day of Ligue 1.

  • The Marseillais climb to second place on the podium.

  • Jorge Sampaoli was satisfied with the “intentions” of his team who “attack a lot”.

At the Velodrome stadium,

The Olympique de Marseille impresses.

The Marseillais signed a fourth victory in five league games, the one against Nice will be replayed on October 27, this Sunday afternoon by beating Rennes (2-0).

Jorge Sampaoli's men are in second place thanks to this great victory, and there are many reasons for satisfaction.

“Satisfaction is general.

I like the intentions of this group, it's a young team with good behavior.

Our team attacks a lot and pushes the opponents back.

But there are still things to improve, like during the first 30 minutes during which we dominated the most but without scoring ”, analyzed Jorge Sampaoli.

"We keep the same level, even with so many rotations"

The Marseillais largely dominated the Rennes during the first 45 minutes, Bruno Genesio evoking “waves all the time”, but never succeeding in scoring. Surely by the lack of presence in the area. But the young Bamba Dieng released his teammates upon returning from the locker room (48th), before the last recruit of the transfer window, Amine Harit, scored his first goal under his new colors (71st). “Personally, it's a real pleasure to score in front of a stadium like this. Especially today, I score the 2-0 goal which allows the match to be buried, 15 minutes before the end. So yeah, I'm very satisfied, ”he savored.

A result which is more with a reorganized team since neither Boubacar Kamara, nor Rongier, nor Gerson, were aligned from the start.

But the Marseillais were able to count on the return of Dimitri Payet.

“I'm very happy to see that we're keeping the same level, even with so many rotations.

We go on another match without scoring a goal.

I am very happy with what the team is producing, we will continue to work on what we know how to do, ”listed the Argentinian coach, who collected his usual little yellow card.

The Marseillais move from Wednesday evening to Angers to try to confirm this very good start to the season, and hope for the return of Arkadiusz Milik who will be "welcome to help us in the rest of the championship".
