In a tournament like
Ligue 1, where the qualifying places for European competitions are so disputed, every victory is fundamental. This matchweek’s win for
Olympique Marseille, with
Álvaro González, represented by
Promoesport, on the starting eleven in the center of the defense, leaves the team from the south of France in the
second position, one point above
Rennes, their closest chaser, but with a game less.
The Cantabrian footballer completed the 90 minutes of the match against
Nantes, thirteenth on the table, who were without their best player,
Pedro Chirivella, also represented by
Promoesport, due to suspension. Álvaro was
serious as usual on the defensive tasks, preventing Nantes from creating dangerous situations. However, in a game dominated by Marseille, Álvaro stood out as a playmaker from the back.
73 of the 74 passes he tried during the match ended up getting to their destination, the
best success rate of all the players on the field.
Olympique Marseille’s next game will take place tomorrow at 17:00h on the
Stade Vélodrome against
Stade Brestois 29, eleventh on the Ligue 1 table. On the other hand, with one match left in the group stage in the
UEFA Europa League, it seems that Álvaro’s team will enter the
UEFA Conference League, a great opportunity to fight for a continental title.
