The full-back would not be a simple scapegoat chosen at random by the leaders of OM…
Between Jonathan Clauss and Olympique de Marseille, the rag is burning. Criticized by Mehdi Benatia, Sunday evening just before the Ligue 1 match against Stade Brestois, the right side was not spared by Pablo Longoria either. The French international is particularly accused of a premature exit due to (false) injury against Monaco (2-2, January 27).
The former RC Lens player would have a lifestyle inconsistent with that of a high-level athlete. “OM has been pointing out attitude issues for three weeks. There are borderline things with private liferevealed Florent Germain, journalist following OM for RMC. We will not go into detail because that is how we operate. But I was clear about the nonchalance, the attitude, the behavior in general. I listen to you all the time, you don’t want to hear that. Jonathan Clauss perhaps sometimes behaves in ways that don’t match the image we have of him, almost the ideal son-in-law or the good locker room guy. »
Score settling?
The native of Strasbourg seems to crystallize the tensions. “I also explained that there were certainly contractual issues behind all of this and perhaps settling of scores because things were going badly with those around me. But let’s not pretend we don’t want to understand that there is tension regarding Jonathan Clauss in the locker room.”continues Florent Germain.
For the moment, the main person concerned has not yet communicated about the controversy of which he is the subject. Since the start of the season, he has been the most used outfield player at OM in all competitions.
