Foot OL – OL-OM: Marseille a plan to ruin Lyon! – Olympique Lyonnais
We do not yet know when the match between Lyon and Marseille will be replayed, but on the side of OM on a small idea to weigh down OL.
A month and a half after the end of the match between OL and OM following the throwing of a bottle at Dimitri Payet, the Professional Football League has still not communicated a new date for this meeting to be replayed as this was decided by its disciplinary committee, then confirmed by the appeal committee of the French Football Federation this week. Faced with this, Pablo Longoria has two weeks to decide whether the Marseille club will decide to go further in the procedure and bring the case before the French National Olympic and Sports Committee. The Marseille president knows it, the chances are very low of seeing the CNOSF go against what has already been decided. However, OM want to use this 15-day period to try to feign Olympique Lyonnais. Indeed, not knowing whether Marseille will continue its proceedings, the LFP has not set a date for this meeting which will be played behind closed doors at Groupama Stadium.
OM know that Lyon will be deprived of Paqueta and Guimaraes on January 26
The Machiavellian idea of the Olympique de Marseille, if we are to believe L’Equipe, is to postpone this trip to Lyon to a date that suits it. So, while there is a free time slot on Wednesday January 19 to stall this meeting, the LFP cannot use it pending the procedural choice of OM which has two weeks to decide, either straight. hair on January 19. The other date is Wednesday January 26, and this is a priori what the Marseille club is aiming for. Indeed, the 26th, we will be in an international niche except for UEFA. In other words, OL and OM will have to release their South American players, all this while the African Cup of Nations has obviously started. In other words, for this match to be replayed between Lyon and Marseille, Peter Bosz will be deprived of Lucas Paqueta and Bruno Guimaraes if it takes place on January 26, while the two Brazilian executives of Jean-Michel Aulas’ club will be present if the meeting takes place on the 19th, not to mention the African internationals. On the OM side, Gerson and Konrad de La Fuente should also be absent, but they do not necessarily have the same weight in Jorge Sampaoli’s squad.

Asked by the sports daily about a malicious scenario of this type, Olympique de Marseille obviously refused to have such a reflection, but the Provencal club still recognized that it was necessary to take into account the calendar and its imperatives . For the moment, we are there, and OM is master of time in this file, even if one day or another it will be necessary to play this meeting of Ligue 1. On the side of Lyon, we are forced to ‘passively wait for what the rival will do while still hoping not to have to play with a completely overhauled formation for this very important meeting.
