The lob attempted by Himad Abdelli against Toulouse sparked a strong reaction from Bruno Genesio on the bench. Clearly irritated, the Marseille coach did not hide his disappointment, while the Algerian responded with humor after the match.
Himad Abdelli did not let his missed lob go without comment. As Olympique de Marseille secured their third consecutive victory in Ligue 1 against Toulouse on Sunday, the Algerian midfielder highlighted a chance he certainly would have liked to manage better.
Very active in Marseille's recent performances, Abdelli this time failed to find the right touch in front of goal. Well set up against the Toulouse goalkeeper, he opted for a lob to make the difference. However, his shot sailed well over the bar, letting a great scoring opportunity slip away.
On the bench, Bruno Genesio clearly took this attempt poorly. The Olympique coach expressed his dissatisfaction through gestures, annoyed by his player's choice in such a promising situation. An expressive reaction, reflecting the disappointment caused by this missed chance.
After the match, Abdelli responded with a touch of self-deprecation. In sharing the result on social media, the Algerian international wrote: “Vaaamos +3, PS: sorry for the lob”. A wink that allows him to acknowledge his mistake while celebrating the essential: three more points for OM, of which he remains one of the standout players.
