Olympique de Marseille continued their summer preparation in the best possible fashion, winning convincingly 3-0 against Qatari club Al-Shahania. This is the third victory for Bruno Genesio's men during their Summer Tour, confirming an encouraging upward trajectory ahead of the start of the official season.
A pre-season objective fully achieved
This match was part of the work programme defined by the Marseille coaching staff. The priority was above all to accumulate playing time, fine-tune collective combinations and continue tactical adjustments. On all three fronts, OM fulfilled their mission, displaying impressive control against an Al-Shahania side that was quickly overwhelmed.
The rotations made by Bruno Genesio allowed the entire squad to gradually hit their stride. Both new signings and established figures were thus able to continue finding their footing within the various systems worked on throughout the summer.
Positive signs ahead of the restart
While the significance of a friendly match should not be overstated, this victory nonetheless provides encouraging lessons. Players are banking minutes, combinations are taking shape, and the group is growing in confidence: the momentum is clearly positive.
Olympique de Marseille thus calmly continues their preparation ahead of the first official fixtures, which will allow for a true assessment of the level of this Marseille squad.
