The start of the winter transfer window is already quite active on the side ofOlympic Marseille. In addition to the departure of Gerson, returned to his former club Flamengo, the team of President Longoria is at work to find reinforcements. The Spanish leader would thus have the idea of ​​​​offering his coach what he wants, namely two attacking midfielders.

According to information from CMR, it is therefore in this specific sector that OM wishes to shop. In question, this famous departure of Gerson as well as the long injury of Amine Harit, without forgetting the departure on loan of the flop Luis Suarez on the side of Almeria. The media recalls that the initial idea of ​​the Marseille recruiters was rather to sign an attacker, but the circumstances therefore made things check.

Dieng, the offensive option

And besides, OM has what it takes in store since Bamba Dieng is still there. Decided to rest last summer against the will of its leaders, the Senegalese international would now be back in the small papers of the Marseille management. The latter could very soon contact the representatives of the twenty-two-year-old offensive.

The oldest of French (Site notre bureau spécialisé) competitions, more than a century old, re-enacts its a priori unbalanced duels, sometimes cruel for the « little thumbs » with big dreams, but also at the origin of incredible happy endings for the amateur world.

Last season, the « magic » of the Cup worked with FC Versailles 78, also in National 2 (the equivalent of the 4th^e division), who defeated Toulouse in particular and reached the semi-finals.

Marseille against Mourad Boudjellal’s club

La Berrichonne de Châteauroux, not at best with a 14^e place in National, would like to imitate the course of the Yvelinois. The gap nevertheless seems abysmal against the Parisian ogre, probably determined to redeem himself after his first defeat of the season, dimension to Lens (3-1).

However, there may be something to play against the capital club, deprived of many stars: Marco Verratti is suspended, Lionel Messi, who has just returned from Argentina, is not playing, Achraf Hakimi and Kylian Mbappé are on leave. And Neymar, hit in an ankle during the World Cup, will be spared.

« There are absentees for X reasons but tomorrow we will have a very competitive team, » commented coach Christophe Galtier on Thursday, playing time prompter « to certain young people ».

A new disappointment should have raised the temperature at PSG, surprised by Nice (0-0, 6-5 pens) last year at the stage of the knockout stages.

The Riviera club, finalist of the previous edition, begins its new campaign on Saturday (6:00 p.m.) in Auvergne against Le Puy, resident of National 1. Same day, same time, defending champion Nantes will be in Normandy to face AF Virois, representative of the fifth division (N3). The match will be played at the Michel-d’Ornano stadium normally occupied by Caen, eliminated for having eliminated a player suspended in the previous round against Vire.

the objective is simply to take less than 10 but because two figures that would be a shame. But we were disrespected! The only choice I can say is that OM don’t have to worry. Everything is going to be fine for them in this game

At the same time, Lyon will be on their side looking for a breath of fresh air against Metz (L2), while their most fervent supporters rail against the poor dynamics of the club recently transferred to the American flag.
The two main groups denounced « a parade of smug, characterless, soulless guys who wallow in mediocrity », Wednesday in a joint statement, « the starting point for future actions ».

The weekend will end on Sunday (8:45 p.m.) in Lille with an L1 duel against Troyes.

Draw Sunday night

The meeting will be given priority by the draw, at 8:00 p.m. at the co-broadcaster beIN Sports, of the 1/16 finals. It will be carried out by the international attachment of the Blues Clara Matéo, player of Paris FC, and the former international handball goalkeeper, Thierry Omeyer.

Even though Cristiano Ronaldo has always tried to publicly gloat about his move to Al-Nassr in recent days, he should have at least imagined the debut at the new club a little differently.

As Al-Nassr reported today via ‘Twitter’, Ronaldo’s possible debut is literally in the water. Today’s game against Al Tai Saudi Club has been postponed for 24 hours due to heavy rain affecting the stadium’s power supply.

But that’s not all. Because CR7 will be allowed to play at all in the newly scheduled game seems anything but certain at the moment. Media were already piling up yesterday that a three-game ban from United’s days could still apply to Al-Nassr. It would also correspond to Fifa’s statutes, according to which a ban is normally transferred to the new club.

But even if the ban is no longer valid, there is no guarantee that Al-Nassr will be used in the near future, as Al-Nassr is apparently facing a problem that FC Barcelona recently encountered: Ronaldo might not even to be able to register for the game.

According to the French news agency ‘AFP’, a foreign player must first leave the club before Al-Nassr can register another.

Really not a beginning of a picture book for CR7. Nonetheless, there’s probably no reason to despair in the Ronaldo household: it worked out for Lewandowski in the end.

He received medical treatment on the pitch for more than 30 minutes, with US sports channel ESPN reporting that cardiac massage had been performed.

“Our thoughts are with Damar and the Buffalo Bills. We will provide more information as it becomes available,” the NFL added.

His agent, Jordon Rooney, wanted to be reassuring on Twitter: « His vital signs have returned to normal. »

Match report

The match was announced « temporarily suspended » after a consultation between the coaches of the two teams and the referees, and the players were ordered to go to the dressing room.

Minutes later, the NFL released a statement confirming the game was postponed and gave details about Hamlin’s condition.

Gray scores for guests
