OM gears up for PSG derby: Genesio press conference and latest

OM travel to the Vélodrome this Sunday for the derby against Paris Saint Germain, closing the 5th matchday of Ligue 1. According to RMC Sport, they do so under heavy pressure after four consecutive losses, including Thursday’s 4-1 defeat at Besiktas in the Europa League.

Pre-match focus

The concern goes beyond the scorelines: RMC Sport also points to the weakness in the football the team has been producing during this early stretch of the season—timing that matters even more with the international break coming soon.

This Saturday, Bruno Genesio will hold his press conference from 15:30. RMC Sport adds an unusual detail: the Marseille coach will not be joined by any players, which is not the typical set-up.

Support after the setbacks

Before the game, Genesio had said on Thursday night that he is going through “a difficult spell.” In the same build-up, Éric Di Meco urged people not to give up on him in an appearance on RMC Sport. “I want to support Bruno Genesio… I don’t see who could do better than him. I hope he doesn’t give up,” Di Meco said, as quoted by RMC Sport. He added that the coach worries him at times in both his attitude and what he says, but insisted the club should back him to get out of the rut.

With Genesio’s comments and any clues about how the team has responded, all eyes turn to whether OM can rediscover their level against PSG and stop the slide in Ligue 1.
