• OM fulfilled their contract by qualifying for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France by beating Cannet-Rocheville.

  • Arkadiusz Milik scored a hat-trick, Mattéo Guendouzi delivered three assists.

  • But the Pole, in difficulty since his return from injury, considers that he and OM can still score "more goals".

At the Velodrome stadium,

A hat-trick that did not satisfy him.

Olympique de Marseille got out of the trap of the 32nd final of the Coupe de France by beating, at the Stade Vélodrome, Cannet-Rocheville 4 goals to 1, thanks, in particular, to a hat-trick from Arkadiusz Milik.

The Pole allowed his team to equalize on the penalty just before half-time, a penalty synonymous with the expulsion of poor Lahouel, in tears at the end of the match, for a second yellow card (41st).

The turning point of the match, since OM struggled well until then, after the opening scoring of Mike Core in the 16th.

“Yes you have to tell the truth, in the first half we weren't good, we weren't very aggressive.

We were not ready in the intensity, in the duels from the start of the match.

They scored it was deserved ”, analyzed Matteo Guendouzi.

"If you don't score, everyone sees it"

But the Polish scoring machine, in difficulty since the start of the season, woke up, and made Cannet-Rochville fold on his own. Or almost. He was well served by Mattéo Guendouzi, shortly before the hour mark (57th) before seeing triple at the very end of the match (91st), again served by the midfielder. “There are always ups and downs when you come back from an injury. It's not easy when you're attacking, because if you don't score everyone sees it. Unlike defenders or midfielders. You need time to readjust. But I feel better, and everything will be fine, ”he was reassuring.

Enough to ensure an ultimately quiet qualification, with the help of Luis Henrique for the Brazilian's first goal in the OM jersey.

And that is the main point.

“It must be said, we met a well established team.

But we were able to react, and the most important thing is to qualify for the round of 16, ”savored Jorge Sampaoli, in minimal service mode at a press conference.

"Work on efficiency"

Four goals scored by OM, against an N3, of course, which had not happened since the victory against Lorient on October 17 (4-1). The performances of Milik, and of Guendouzi, author of three assists, are ultimately only the realization of a good collective performance of Marseille in the second half. Who could have been rewarded with even more goals. “Arek, the last few weeks he's been less successful than last season, so it's going to be good for him. He deserves, he works a lot, he was hungry to score, we hope that the whole team, like Arek, will continue to work and score more goals. You have to win the matches, and work on efficiency. This is what we have been missing in recent weeks, ”stressed Mattéo Guendouzi.

Joined by Milik in his analysis, and the margin of progression of OM.

“We can still improve a lot of things, do better as a team.

Especially when we have the ball, when we attack, we have to circulate it better.

We could have won with more goals, there were possibilities, ”he insisted twice.

Seeing him ask for the ball like starved to death in the last minutes of the match, we suspect that the Pole is still far from being satisfied.

So much the better for OM.
