A former manager of Olympique de Marseille spoke this Friday about the personality of Pablo Longoria.
In conflict with certain groups of supporters, Pablo Longoria is not spared, either, by certain leaders who have worked for Olympique de Marseille. After ex-president Christophe Bouchet, it was former communications director Jacques Cardoze who revealed his truths about the Spanish leader.
“ He created a bubble around himself and I lost contact. When I called him, he said to me: “See with Pedro (Oriondo). » When I texted him, he replied: “Meet Javier (Rubalta). » I considered him like a brother… I didn’t understand how we could have gone from an almost fraternal relationship to nothing! Not even a shouting match, total cutoff, no more sound, no more image. I would have preferred it to stick me to the wall », Launched Cardoze in comments given to L’Équipe.
“There is a lot of theater in Marseille”
Visibly touched, Jacques Cardoze does not hide his bitterness. “ He can’t both blame some people for telling him that he’s creating a barrier and at the same time do everything to erect it… He dismissed me so badly that I too have been followed for months. I still take medication. He also harmed others. In this story, there is an element of communication, I think. There is a lot of theater in Marseille, especially among the supporters, those we call the big mouths. It screams, it screams… Afterwards, it’s an intimate thing. I understand very well that he could be shaken… But he has seen others, Pablo. »
