OM potentially relegated, Kevin Diaz is worried
OM have few wins in Ligue 1. Fossens were held 1-1 by Metz on Friday evening for a 5th consecutive unbeaten match in Ligue 1. Very worrying results and background for Kevin Diaz.
In 2024, OM no longer knows how to win Ligue 1 matches. Fosse’s fifth match without success in the championship, held 1-1 by 16th-placed Metz on Friday evening. Their record at the start of the calendar year is 3 draws and 1 defeat in 4 matches. You have to go back to 2001 to see such bad numbers to start the new year. Marseille supporters are divided between anger and concern. Indeed, OM are moving significantly away from the podium and slowly sliding towards the soft underbelly of Ligue 1. Expect to get worse, maybe soon.
OM has relegation results
Kevin Diaz is clear: this OM looks like a relegated team, both on the pitch and in terms of accounts. “ At a time, OM accepts many targets. You can’t take that goal. You’re 1-0 up, you’re in a good position, the guy is alone at the near post. Defensively, when you’re in the hole, you also have to know how to close. Here, I am not going to exaggerate by saying that OM has relegation rate or almost », he said in After Foot on RMC.

Lionel Charbonnier joins in his analysis, noting Marseille’s composure in the game. Kevin Diaz points to the people responsible for this situation: Marseille players, who are very weak, but also Gennaro Gattuso does not know how to play OM properly. ” In any case, there are two ways to achieve results in the main championship: either you have an ultra-oiled collective with extraordinary self-sacrifice, as I have just described Tudor’s OM. Or you have big resources with guys who kill your matches on both surfaces “, he analyzed. Needless to say, Gennaro Gattuso can pack his bags if success does not return to OM quickly.
