Reims, the start of a new season to be experienced in full on France Bleu Provence

The time for recovery has come for Olympique de Marseille!

More than two months after the final in apotheosis against Strasbourg and the second place synonymous with direct qualification in the Champions League, place for the return of Ligue 1. The new season begins this Sunday, August 7 at 8:45 p.m. versus the Stade de Reims. A match to live in full on France Bleu Provence.

A victory to reassure everyone

Uncertain start to the season for OM. In question, a very sluggish friendly campaign: only one victory in five matches, on July 13 against the amateurs of Marignane-Gignac (N2). A preparation punctuated by a 2-0 defeat on July 31 against the A.C. Milan in a gala match at the Vélodrome stadium.

So, is Olympique de Marseille just digesting the method ofIgor Tudor ? The successor to Jorge Sampaoli presents a game with three central defenders, and a desire to press the opponent high. It’s obvious that “my style is different from the previous coach. But I think everyone can win with a different style” declared in a pre-match press conference the Croatian technician. “We have the same atmosphere as last year” supports Dimitri Payet, propelled new captain of OM, despite a meeting this Tuesday between the players, the president Pablo Longoria and the staff.
