Pablo Longoria, the strong man of OM, really liked how to endear himself to Olympian supporters. It’s not so much about straightening out your own club as mocking the Parisian enemy. This is what he did in his latest media outing.
Longoria at the height of insolence
Speaking for the Italian daily Corriere della Sera, the Spaniard indicated that his ultimate goal at the Vélodrome is to make OM a club that would be the antithesis of PSG.
“We have a project to revitalize the club over three years: the objective is to become the anti-PSG. In the meantime, we are the only French team to have won the Champions League“, he confided.
The spat risks going down very badly with Ile-de-France supporters. Because rather than focusing on his own team, Longoria takes advantage of the existing rivalry between the two clubs to increase his popularity.
In addition, it still seems quite inappropriate to criticize a club with a significantly greater sporting performance and which, above all, has just visited the Vélodrome (3-0). Longoria perhaps forgot too quickly that during his mandate, and even that of his predecessor, Marseille still did not beat PSG at home in the league.
