Guendouzi destroys OM

Beaten by Brest last week, OM ended their season with another defeat this Saturday on the lawn of Ajaccio (1-0). Intolerable for Mattéo Guendouzi.

On the kneecaps… The Marseillais will have concluded this trying and frustrating exercise 2022-2023 without any juice, unable to take the slightest point against Brest and Ajaccio, 14^e and 18^e respectively at the end of the championship. The long-coveted second place abandoned in Lens after two significant defeats against these famous Sang et Or and their neighbors Lille, the Olympians – moreover assured of the third step of the podium – were unable to find the little extra soul necessary to close this season with dignity.

This Saturday again, despite hot opportunities, the Phocaeans held out their stick to be beaten, surprised at the end of the game by a nice volley signed Vidal (1-0, 88^e). A third loss in a row to finish 12 lengths from the Parisian champion in fine – and 11 units from a first Lensois runner-up who will definitely not have stolen his place in the Champions League. Or when the Tudor method, officially on the way out and shying away from its final passage in front of the French press, finds its limits.

In conclusion, it is still one of the main actors of this OM – a Mattéo Guendouzi evening captain in the absence of Valentin Rongier and Dimitri Payet – who speaks about it best. ” We must assume. We don’t deserve to wear the OM jersey, we are aware of that… We didn’t play a good game again tonight, we had catastrophic results recently, we had to show pride and we didn’t didn’t know how to do it. We are Olympique de Marseille, we have no right to chain these defeats against teams supposed to be less strong than us. Some players do not meet and make mistakes, it gives a bad end to the championship but we are all in the same basket, we have to assume it. We show a bad image of OM, we have chances but we don’t score, it’s repeated from game to game, and then we concede goals that come out of nowhere, it’s not the first time… He we need a vacation to put our heads back together. As for his personal future, Guendouzi concludes: “ There will be discussions with the management, we will see what happens this summer, there will be a new coach… in any case, I am very happy to be at OM. »
