• Olympique de Marseille and Stade Rennais parted ways back to back (1-1) on Sunday at the Stade Vélodrome.

  • A draw, frustrating for the Marseillais.

  • But coach Igor Tudor said he was "super happy" with his team's start to the season.

At the Velodrome stadium,

A “super happy” Igor Tudor, but far from smiling.

Contrasting afternoon for Olympique de Marseille, Sunday after a draw against Stade Rennais (1-1) "which we must accept", according to the coach.

Like the opposition between the two teams and a first half in favor of the Bretons, who scored the first goal, after a mess in the OM defense (25th).

Before a much more consistent return from the locker room of the Marseillais, to the point of quickly equalizing (52nd).



“Obviously, it's a disappointment if you count the points and want to win everything.

It's only one point taken, instead of three.

When you are a competitor you want to win everything, it's frustrating”, regretted the piston Jonathan Clauss.

But his teammate Jordan Veretout, tempered: "When you don't succeed in winning, you must not lose".

“We are undefeated in the league”

This is what the Marseillais managed again on Sunday, as since the start of the season, since they remain undefeated in the league with 6 wins and 2 draws, for 20 points taken out of 24 possible.

"We are undefeated in the league, it's a very good start to the season," continued the midfielder.

Which makes Igor Tudor a “happy, even super happy” man.

Despite this (small) disappointment of the draw against Rennes, who would have imagined OM with such a record after a large squad review, and a new coach, whistled during the first two games of the Marseillais at home, let's remember?

"There are a lot of new things in the club, and today with these new things, and all the changes, I think we're doing a pretty good job," said Jonathan Clauss.

“We can go further”

This good start to the season especially gives the Marseillais an appetite for the future.

“Of course we can go further, draws can be avoided like in Brest and today.

We can go further, we are not going to be satisfied with the fact that we are undefeated and that we are having a great start to the season, but we can rely on that for the rest, ”warned the piston freshly landed at Marseilles.

And also on the international break, which should be good for some OM players "to whom we should give a medal after this tour de force of matches played", according to their coach.

But in the Marseille workforce, no less than 12 players will leave for selection on Monday.

“Now we have to recover and come back even stronger.

We will also have a lot of matches in October and we will have to give the maximum”, recalled Igor Tudor, who hopes that his internationals will not play “more than one match”.

Before a double confrontation against Sporting Portugal in October, decisive for the continuation of OM in the Champions League.

A competition still does not succeed for the Marseillais, unlike their good start to the season in the league.
