It’s the same scenario every time. Since the resumption of football in France, on December 28, Olympique de Marseille plays, Olympique de Marseille wins. And it is not the arrival of Stade Rennais, supposedly the strongest opponent of the said recovery, which has changed anything. So yes, the Phocaeans suffered, especially at the end of the match, but they won again.
For this sixteenth final, there was a lack of people. Clauss in particular on the OM side, Terrier and Kalimuendo on the Rennais side. We saw a first period similar to previous matches and the Bretons could consider themselves lucky not to be behind by two goals after 20 minutes of play. But neither Malinovskyi, who found the post on a free kick, nor Sanchez, whose head lacked power, could not shake the nets.
Rongier is sure of his teammates
We had to wait for an exploit by OM’s best player in recent times to unlock the score: Jordan Veretout. The midfielder squirted into the opposing feet, recovered the leather, took speed from Majer before crossing at the far post for a Guendouzi who finished extremely well. OM led 1-0 and were not going to be caught.
” We are always sure of ourselves. With what we have been offering for a few matches, we have to be aware of our qualities. It sure brings back bad memories when you dominate, but you can’t score. We knew the quality of Rennes and we knew that we had to take shelter. We managed to win tonight, that was the goal, it’s a cup match. We are very happy to be in eighth “Explained Valentin Rongier in the mixed zone. Who can beat this OM? Monaco will try, in any case, next weekend…
