Pau Lopez was in front of the press this Thursday, two days before the match between Nice and Marseille. The OM goalkeeper looked back on his complicated month of August. He confided that he had revelations to make.

Pau Lopez has not been in his best form since the start of the season. Often singled out by observers, the Spanish goalkeeper perhaps has some explanations for his poor performance. In any case, this is what he clearly suggested Thursday to the media. As part of the press conference preceding Saturday’s match between OGC Nice and Olympique de Marseille (9 p.m., 9th day of Ligue 1), the goalkeeper spoke about his personal performances.

It’s like in life. There are good times and bad times. I didn’t start the season well and I didn’t play at my level. » This is how Pau Lopez began his attempt at an explanation. But he then showed himself to be a little more precise, suggesting a perhaps deeper evil. “ August was complicated for me. Not sportingly, but more personally, mentally. » But then what is it exactly? The OM goalkeeper did not wish to say more. Not yet, in any case. “ I’ll talk about that after the season.

“I would love to share with you, but…. »

Visibly torn between speaking now or later, the Spaniard continued: “ I would like to share with you everything that has been happening in my head and in my life, but now is not the time. I will explain this to you at the end of the season. » The mystery therefore remains complete. Hoping for Marseille supporters that their player will return to his best level very quickly, and above all that he will be rid for good of what was bothering him at the time.
