As in every transfer window since he took office at Olympique de Marseille, Pablo Longoria has shaken up a large part of his squad this summer by selling and buying left, right and centre. Regardless of the status of each person, everyone is likely to leave. And that doesn’t go down well with some people. Vikash Dhorasoo raised the subject this Friday and called on Roberto De Zerbi to take responsibility.
Appointed coach at the beginning of the summer to succeed Jean-Louis Gasset at the end of his contract, the former Brighton strategist quickly understood Pablo Longoria’s way of doing things and seemed to adapt quickly. For the players, however, the situation is different. Samuel Gigot, a manager and occasional captain last year, is for example being pushed towards the exit. A case among others, which made Vikash Dhorasoo, a consultant for the channel, react The Team. ” Gigot is going to Lazio. I can’t really understand how you can put a player who is leaving for a club of this level in the loft. At the same time, Gigot was captain last year at several times. »
“The coach should refuse this”
And the former PSG player continued: “ How can you tell someone: ‘We give you a salary, so we have a contract with you, we are bound’and then we don’t want to pay you anymore, so we put you in a loft. It’s up to the UNFP to move a little bit to find better conditions for all these players. They don’t deserve that. They deserve to be in the squad and to be able to apply. That’s what (Geoffrey) Kondogbia did, who fought to get his place. »
But for Vikash Dhorasoo, one man in particular has a responsibility and should take steps to prevent such practices. The coach should refuse that too. De Zerbi was a player. All those coaches who were players and who were able to experience this as players and see it, should not have short memories. » Thus challenged, Roberto De Zerbi may want to respond on the subject. Or not.
