Marseille has slipped from the podium since the 9th day and is currently teetering on the edge of a crisis after enduring 5 consecutive defeats, the latest being the one conceded against Reims at the Vélodrome on the 11th day of Ligue 1.
When questioned about this rough patch, the Franco-Gabonese player, Mario Lemina, reflected on the start of his team’s season, attributing Marseille’s struggles to a stroke of bad luck.
“On a personal level, I feel that I am progressing through contact with quality players. As for the team, we’re not having too much luck at the moment. It turned against us, and I hope it will come back. We create a lot of chances, but we miss too many in front of the opposing goal. Unfortunately, we’ve also conceded too many goals…”
The poor performances of the Phocaeans have distanced them from Paris Saint-Germain, with 8 points now separating them from the league leaders.
“We try to navigate through this rough patch as calmly as possible. However, it is quite difficult and complicated. A club like OM should be on the podium, not in sixth place. » The next opportunity to turn things around comes at the beginning of November, with a challenging trip to Brittany to face Stade Rennais in the twelfth day of Ligue 1.
