The Marseillais were beaten 2 goals to 1 on Saturday by Stade Brestois, their first victory in history at the Stade Vélodrome.
After two victories against Troyes and Nantes, the Marseillais can not follow suit.
The frustration comes mainly from not being able to "kill" the matches.
At the Velodrome stadium,
“It's a mistake on my part even though I think we could have defended better. It is a center without great danger, we restarted badly and when we revive badly and in the axis… The strike is totally missed and if I do not put my hand, there would not have been a goal. When I turn, I try to put my left hand against my body. But at real speed, things go fast… ”An analysis full of lucidity and disappointment from midfielder Boubacar Kamara, author of a hand in the Breton area in the 50th minute of the match between OM and the Stade Brestois.
The Marseillais had done the job so far, opening the scoring in the 30th minute, thanks to a strike from Gerson under the bar.
“I think the penalty is the turning point of the match.
The first half, we controlled it well, we had the ball, chances, they were not dangerous in the first.
We didn't start the second well and that's what got us into it afterwards, ”explained Mattéo Guendouzi afterwards.
"It's been a while since we have trouble finding shelter"
Half-time, and this twist of fate, completely put the Brestois back in the game.
And it was Romain Faivre who allowed his teammates to come back to score (53rd).
Before the Brestois punish the OM players, thanks to a nice collective action, punctuated by a superb goal from Honorat, again a heavy strike under the bar of Pau Lopez (70th).
And failing to kill the match, the Marseillais never managed to come back.
“We know that when we are leading 1-0 we have to take shelter quickly.
It's been a while since we have struggled to put this 2nd and 3rd base to shelter us.
Today we were punished ”, again correctly analyzed Boubacar Kamara, at least as disappointed as Guendouzi.
With the impression of seeing them fall back into their pitfalls, and of spinning the ball without ever finding a solution, or almost.
“This is not the first time since the start of the season, there are a lot of games that we have mastered but we cannot score the second goal, like in Nantes.
So we know that at any time we can be equalized.
And we take a goal behind, ”continued Guendouzi.
"This is the scenario we expected"
It is ultimately Jorge Sampaoli who best sums up this poor performance. “Yes we are very frustrated. We played well in the first half, with a lot of possessions. The penalty made our team messy, and Brest took advantage of the situation. We were superior for most of the match, so yes, very frustrating, ”regretted the Argentine.
The matches follow each other and are similar for the Marseillais, this time with a negative outcome.
Sampaoli's team seem far too predictable, and ultimately harmless.
“This is the scenario we expected.
We saw it in Nantes too, they make a pass to 10, without being too dangerous either.
It was necessary to defend well.
We made good use of the spaces, ”Michel Der Zakarian almost laughed at.
With or without 9, OM cannot find the recipe for the start of the season, when they won, by taking two goals, of course, but by putting in three or four.
