Recent matches of Olympique de Marseille show a team operating with an active game system focused on high pressing and possession play. N. Aguerd and L. Balerdi form a solid partnership at the back, allowing the midfielders to fully engage forward. This approach has paid off, especially in the match against Montpellier where Olympique de Marseille dominated the game.
One key to Olympique de Marseille's success this season lies in the effectiveness of their midfield, highlighted by impressive performances from P. Højbjerg and H. Abdelli. The latter provides crucial creativity, enabling the team to build dangerous and swift attacks. The constant pressing applied to the opponent showcases the collective commitment and strategy chosen by the coach. Structure and fluidity of play
The structure of the team allows for fluidity in play. Full-backs often involve themselves in offensive actions, creating gaps on the wings. This opens spaces that P. Aubameyang exploits brilliantly. His positioning and intelligent movement make him a major asset in this system.
This style of play also presents challenges. Sometimes, an imbalance can occur if the pressing is too aggressive, leaving spaces behind. However, Olympique de Marseille's quick execution and technical assurance enable them to compensate for these weaknesses. Overall, this season is marked by a clear playing identity for Olympique de Marseille, focusing on attack and midfield domination, promising for upcoming challenges.
