  "account": "Olympique de Marseille experienced their most disappointing start in Ligue 1 history after suffering a loss to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). This marks the worst record ever for the club in the French league, as they have lost four of their first five league matches. The team has also suffered five defeats in their initial six games this season, including a setback against Besiktas in the Europa League. Head coach Bruno Genesio has now endured the worst start in the club's history, becoming the first manager to lose five of his first six official games. According to Canal+, Genesio is contemplating resignation, feeling misled by the unfulfilled promises from the club's management, as reported by sources close to him.\n\nFollowing the defeat, Marseille's players approached their supporters to express their apologies, receiving chants of encouragement despite the disheartening outcome—a scene that intensified their sense of regret. Midfielder Imad Abdelli emphasized the severity of the loss, stating that the team not only failed to earn any points but also conceded two goals from mistakes. He added, \"We are very disappointed. We played a strong match but conceded two goals from mistakes, and that’s what we need to fix.\"",
