Legend of Olympique de Marseille, Eric Di Meco spoke about the violent crisis experienced by the Marseille club.
It was in a particularly hostile climate that Olympique de Marseille prepared for their match against Ajax Amsterdam. While the Marseille club is currently facing the Dutch team, Eric Di Meco returned at the start of the evening to the events that occurred this week. As a reminder, president Pablo Longoria withdrew after receiving death threats, while coach Marcelino submitted his resignation, leaving his place to Jacques Abardonado.
Di Meco clearly calls on Longoria to continue his mission at OM. “ He must remain president of OM, at least to finish the season properlylaunched the former defender on RMC. The shareholder (Frank McCourt, Editor’s note) must come quickly to Marseille to support its president, it’s the least he can do, said the 1993 European champion. Managing a club like OM from the United States, it was doomed to fail no matter what happened at some point. It’s not possible, you have to be there and take the temperature of the club. This club is not like the others. »
“The discussion must resume”
“You don’t kick out fans from a stadium, they’re your customers, you have to deal with that, continued Di Meco. Supporters’ clubs in Marseille don’t just do that, they are involved socially, politically and economically. They have a very significant nuisance power which must be taken into account. There must be a gentlemen’s agreement to finish the season properly“, concluded the RMC consultant, calling for “ the discussion resumes“. The message got through.
