Jérôme Rothen’s revelations on the alleged distrust of the OL locker room towards Fabio Grosso hardly pleased Benoît Trémoulinas.
Monday evening, Jérôme Rothen dropped a bomb. The former player turned presenter, declared on RMC that the atmosphere between the players and the coach of Olympique Lyonnais, Fabio Grosso, was more than cool. “ I’ve had people from the locker room and I can tell you that Grosso is already in the hot seat. There is hardly a player left who can see it. Very experienced players have told me that he is perhaps the worst coach (they) have had. » A revelation that caused reactions at all levels. While Fabio Grosso set out in pursuit of “ the mole“, the observers gave their opinion on the subject.
Former member of the French team, Benoît Trémoulinas, for example, did not at all validate the exit of Jérôme Rothen. He explained it on Tuesday on the set of the channel The Team. “ First of all, I think that Jérôme Rothen put Lyon in the sauce by dropping this bomb. I think that… There you go… He knows very well that the club is in a very complicated period… Add this bombshell, even if he has had feedback from certain players, from what he says, I find that it is not is not necessary to say it. It created a buzz and it worked.“
“At some point you have to stop. »
The consultant then analyzed the reaction of Fabio Grosso who decided to cancel Tuesday’s training, even if this decision was not taken solely because of Jérôme Rothen’s statement. “ I think that, in relation to this news, the coach’s ego has taken precedence, and that is not good. Because OK, in a season, there can sometimes be players who swing at a coach. But what does that mean? Every time a player attacks a coach in the press, do we stop training and put everyone on rest? At some point you have to stop. We continue. The club is in difficulty, so we have to train and then we will work internally to find that mole if we really want to find it.“
