Roland Courbis, the sports consultant and former Marseille coach, expressed his congratulations for Marseille’s victory against Bastia (2-1) at the end of the 34th day of the French League. Despite being announced as ill and absent during his club USM Alger’s elimination in the CAF Cup, Courbis took the time to commend Marseille’s performance.
According to Courbis, Marseille’s journey in the league has been that of champions, and he emphasized the need to consider their achievements in context. He pointed out that despite criticisms about their style of play or narrow victories, Marseille started the season with challenges, including a limited squad of 12 or 13 players and involvement in the Europa League. Despite these difficulties, they managed to accumulate 38 points by December, averaging two points per game.
Courbis suggests that people should be more understanding and consider the circumstances, acknowledging that, arithmetically, their performance is that of a champion’s journey. His remarks reflect the idea that Marseille has shown resilience and commendable results despite the challenges they faced earlier in the season.
