Ejected from the Europa League Conference by Feyenoord on Thursday, Olympique de Marseille now only has the championship to play for, with the aim of retaining its second place. On the menu for the last three days: a trip to Lorient, not yet sure of its maintenance, another to Rennes, third, and finally the reception of Strasbourg, sixth. Not easy.
Especially since the defeat against Lyon reduced the margin of the Phocaeans to three points on Rennes and Monaco. In a press conference, William Saliba took stock of the morale of the troops the day after the elimination in C4: “We are disappointed, but not dejected. We still have a goal in the league. We have a match in two days, we don’t have time to be beaten. »
“You have to quickly put your head back in place, continues the defender. Do not be afraid, do not play with trembling feet. It is sure that we should not sleep, we were on a good dynamic and we can quickly find ourselves further since it is very tight. Our first objective was to qualify for the Champions League, we still have our destiny in our hands, we are not going to let go of anything until the end. “It would be nice for the supporters, who are beginning to fear that the scenario of 2018 will be repeated, which saw the Phocaeans relegated to fourth place in the last days of the championship.
