Denis Balbir does not see Marseille on the podium
Currently third in Ligue 1 at mid-season, Olympique de Marseille in addition to that one game less. Will OM be able to reach their end-of-season goal? Denis Balbir does not see OM on the podium in any case.
Paris Saint-Germain appear to be on track to finish at the top of Ligue 1 this season. Halfway through the championship, the Marseillais are third with one game less. Sampaoli and his players have a good card to play for a qualification in the Champions League. However, the competition will not be so easy. The consultant of ButFootballClub Denis Balbir sees nothing encouraging for OM to be on the podium.
“The workforce is a bit short, it lacks bench depth”
“The Rennais really have a good shot to play, like the Niçois. Already, Christophe Galtier is a guarantee of success, we have seen what he did in Saint-Etienne and Lille. Its workforce is interesting, with a good mix of young and old, and significant financial resources, as in Rennes. I find that OM is more vague. The squad is a bit short, it lacks bench depth while Sampaoli is a demanding coach. There is a bit of mystery about the first part of the season, about the course. The big surprise is to see Lyon so low. This club is struggling to bounce back, with evils that do not date from yesterday, defensive evils despite the presence of Lopes. The Lyonnais will have to put on a different face to catch Europe, but they are far behind ”
The reality on the ground will speak at the end of the season and we can say if he was right or not. It will be necessary to take into account that the Conference League and the Coupe de France will be two more competitions to play for OM.
