Still publicly singled out by OM management on Sunday, Jonathan Clauss was vigorously defended by the UNFP this Monday.
Once again, OM took advantage of the media scene to settle scores with Jonathan Clauss, Sunday evening, on the sidelines of the championship match between Brest and Marseille. In the role of the prosecution this time, President Longoria’s sports advisor Mehdi Benatia, who clearly questioned the professionalism of the international right side on Prime Video.
The last straw for the UNFP, which this Monday decided to release a press release to defend Jonathan Clauss. “ Again and again harassment, which consists of delivering a footballer to popular vindictiveness via the press, to deflect all evils onto himdenounces the footballers’ union. This harassment that the UNFP denounces until filing a complaint against X last month, and which the clubs nevertheless abuse, including now outside official transfer periods. »
Longoria pinned in turn

Ashamed ! Disgusting ! At the rate things are going and OM’s finances are going, and while Gennaro Gattuso left the boat drunk this Monday, it is not forbidden to think that we are going to attack, individually or collectively, the All the employees of the Marseille club, all guilty. Why not also Pablo Longoria? »
