Quickly reduced to 10, OM lost heavily (0-3) for their first Classic of the season against Paris Saint-Germain last October. On RMC today, Medhi Benatia, sports advisor of the Marseille club, spoke about the meeting. “I see how we prepared for the Paris match. It was a very high press, everything was in place. After 20 minutes there was none of that. On arrival, there is nothing. In the intensity, the commitment, we are not there. In front of an audience of connoisseurs, and it’s true, we had a record number of subscribers. People support us. This year they are not demanding, they want. At 3-0 at half-time, we tell you that the supporters have left the stadium. Okay, but the turns were there all the way. They sang. For that alone, they deserve», Commented the former Juventus defender.
“We are talking about a crisis even though we are 3rd in the ranking. The defeat against PSG is not what bothers me. I have never compared myself to PSG. When you talk about a young team, you are not going to come and say that we are going to step on everyone. But the match is unacceptable. You can’t have a non-match, lack personality, fighting spirit like we did in front of 65,000 people. This is unacceptable. I don’t understand it“, he also added.
