Marcelino, While Olympique de Marseille is struggling to convince at the start of the season, Marcelino crystallizes the criticisms like those of Christophe Dugarry, very severe with the OM coach.
Olympique de Marseille is having a sluggish start to the season. With two wins and two draws in four matches, the Sky and White are certainly still undefeated in Ligue 1 and even point, thanks to their eight points, on the third step of the podium, on the same line as PSG.

To these hitches are added the elimination from the preliminary rounds of the Champions League and a still very poor background. Enough to bring severe criticism to Marcelino, who arrived this summer in place of Igor Tudor. Present on the set of Rothen ignites on Monday, Christophe Dugarry did not spare the new coach of Ciel et Blanc. “He is the president’s friend, it is not an easy position, we will blame him, he first recalled.

“I don’t find him compatible with OM. I find it a little smooth, he added. Those before, it was a casting, they were characters.

I think that in this club, you need a particularity in your character, in your behavior, in your record. »
