Olympique de Marseille finds itself in the midst of a challenging spell as they faced another draw, this time against Metz, culminating in a fifth consecutive match without securing a victory. The 1-1 draw unfolded against a Metz side striving for survival, prompting a post-match assessment by Azzedine Ounahi (23 years old), who voiced his frustration at the team’s inability to convert opportunities into goals.
Speaking at the post-match interview with Prime Video, Ounahi expressed his disappointment, particularly highlighting the profligacy in front of goal that hindered Marseille from clinching a much-needed win.
“We have to kill the match, we have six clear chances, but we miss. I am the first concerned, because otherwise, we had a strong match ten against eleven.
We have to get to work for the next match. We have to finish the chances; we miss too many. It’s a problem, we have to work more in front of goal,” remarked Ounahi.
Despite facing an opponent battling for survival, Marseille struggled to capitalize on their chances, leading to a shared result. Ounahi’s self-awareness extended to acknowledging his own missed opportunities, emphasizing the need for improvement in the finishing department.
He cited the urgency to address the goal-scoring challenges, recognizing it as a pivotal aspect requiring focused attention.
With Europa League duties on the horizon against Shakhtar Donetsk, Marseille confronts a critical juncture in their season. Ounahi’s call to “prepare better for the next match” underscores the team’s commitment to overcoming the current hurdles and delivering stronger performances in the upcoming fixtures.
As Olympique de Marseille navigates a demanding phase, the spotlight remains on their ability to convert opportunities into victories, with players like Azzedine Ounahi emphasizing the imperative to refine their finishing skills for a more successful campaign ahead.
