Ligue 1 strugglers Olympique de Marseille are desperately trying to find solutions to overcome a crisis situation at the club that has seen them suffer defeat after defeat in recent games
A downward spiral is the best term that can sum up what’s currently going on at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127. The Rhone side is going through a storm marked with a seven-game losing streak, the latest of which was a 3-2 defeat at the hands of third-tier side US
Quevilly.
The malaise is so deep and a reaction is expected to save what can be saved in a season that fans would want to forget as quickly as possible.
President Vincent Labrune is now worried about how bad things have become for the team and while talking to Provence, the Frenchman said that he is still hopeful of a turnaround in the coming days.
“I’m not a big fan of renunciation. I told the players to get into the car and told them, ‘Do not lower your head, look ahead’, it’s a pretty amazing and complex season.”
Labrune also took the opportunity to give his backing to Didier Deschamps. Labrune says that the coach is still part of the plans at the club and also spoke about how well Deschamps has done by taking Marseille to the quarterfinals of the Champions League
after such a long time.
“I have always defended and protected him because I think he is the coach we need at OM. I do not reproach him. We’re lower than the dirt right now and we must stand up.”
Against Quevilly, the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steve-Mandanda-c34177.
However, it seems that Didier Deschamps might not take any risks and could give Brazilian goalkeeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Elinton-Andrade-c12297 a chance to cover for Mandanda.
Things are certainly not going according to plan for the Rhone giants who have not won in what seems like ages for fans. The upcoming Ligue 1 encounter against OGC Nice would certainly show if the players are capable of giving a good reaction or not.
