Olympique de Marseille is facing a challenging period with a series of defeats in various competitions, including losses against PSG, Dortmund, Nice, Naples, and Reims. The team is looking to bounce back and secure a victory in the upcoming match against Rennes on the 12th day of Ligue 1.
Despite the recent setbacks, OM’s central defender, Souleymane Diawara, remains optimistic and refuses to dramatize the situation. He acknowledges the pressure that comes with playing for a big club like Marseille, where even a couple of losses can be labeled as a crisis. Diawara draws a comparison to a more difficult period in the 2011-2012 season when the team experienced eleven successive defeats in the championship. According to him, the current situation is less severe than what the team faced during the Deschamps era.
Diawara emphasizes that setbacks are part of football, especially in top clubs, and he hopes that the team can turn things around in the championship. He expresses confidence in a strong finish to the season and believes that the team can overcome the challenges they are currently facing. The upcoming match against Rennes is seen as an opportunity for Olympique de Marseille to regain momentum and start climbing the league table.
