At the Velodrome stadium,
A victory and it starts again? The Olympique de Marseille won 3-1 Wednesday evening against Montpellier at the Vélodrome stadium during the the day of
Ligue 1. A victory that allows the Marseillais to get back to the leading car after the poor performance of Lille against Angers (1-2) and PSG against ASSE (1-1). A victory, which allows the Marseillais to be 5th in the standings, still with two games late.
“It’s a very good victory, we must take advantage of this victory against to an opponent who was close to us. We hang up the distance with PSG and Lille who lose points. We must continue to continue, to reduce the distance even further from the top of the standings, ”said André Villas Boas at a press conference.
NR7 in all its splendor
The Portuguese coach made a few surprises, and offered cold sweats to some supporters, by establishing Nemanja Radonjic, who returned from injury. Great good did him since the Serbian opened the scoring just before the break, on a new offering from Thauvin, still as precious in L1 (20 e). Despite his too much waste in his game, and the second half will show it, Radonjic did not hesitate to celebrate his goal with a finger on his mouth, as if to silence his (many) detractors.
The evening is going to make history, but I don’t know yet if it will be for the United States or for the left side Nagatomo-Radonjic.

The return of the break was far from being as quiet as the first with the disputed equalizer of Florent Mollet, while Andy Delort, offside, appeared to be playing a game (41 e). But AVB pulled a new card out of its hat, replacing the fairly average Cuisance with Strootman. And the former Roma player has done good for OM, so pain.

“Are you crazy”?
Then Payet, therefore not established, entered. Seven minutes later, he had fun with the Montpellier defense with support from Kamara, excellent, before deceiving Omlin with a low strike (80 e). Competing on the right side of the attack, and on the goal celebrations with Radonjic, the Reunionese ran to the corner post, mimicking a mad gesture with his hand, gazing fixed on his bench. “Are you crazy, you’re crazy”, were even able to read colleagues on his lips?
Ptdrrrrrr the look is a fada 😭😭😭 https://t.co/ylEkh3zQJq

“We decided to test Nemanja, it was an option, but there is nothing serious. Payet was not happy to be on the bench but made a good entry in a good state of mind. His goal is important, I want him to continue to find the level to which he had accustomed us last season, his best season at OM can be. That’s what I want “, retorted AVB, when asked about this choice.
“We recover points that we lost over the last three games”
Germain’s entries for Benedetto, very active but absolutely not decisive, and Kahoui, instead of Nagatomo still too often in the street on his left side, only confirmed the good choices of André Villas Boas. On an overflow on the left side, Kahoui offered an assist on the first ball or almost of Valère Germain (80 e).
“It feels good to score. I do not play a lot this year, the coach calls on me on the right or on the left, while this is not necessarily my position. No matter where I play, I try to score as best as possible “, he was satisfied with the microphone of Canal +.
” The guys who returned made the difference, it is very important for us, for our state of mind. Strootman, Kahoui, Germain, Payet, the options are there, we have strong forces. We recover points that we lost in the last three games. Today we remain less close to others as before, we must continue because Lyon is having a very good time. We must go and seek victory in Dijon, ”warned André Villas. And it will be from Saturday, without Luis Henrique, positive for Covid – 18 and already absent on Wednesday evening.
