Pablo Longoria's blood stroke in Auxerre on Saturday evening (3-0) continues to fuel the debates. This Wednesday, the president of theOlympique de Marseille must plead his cause to the disciplinary committee. It risks a very heavy suspension.
But while waiting to know the verdict, the Spanish leader is not spared by public opinion and observers. This week, the former French international Benoît Trémoulinas, now a consultant for the L'Equipe channel, made a very noticed outing on this subject.
“We know the club's liabilities very well”
The former Bordeaux has clearly castigated Longoria's behavior while referring to episodes from OM's past. “If we have trouble seeing a serene climate for the end of the season?” It's complicated … I think it's a lot of coffee from Longoria, to talk about corruption when we talk about Olympique de Marseille. We know the club's liabilities very well. I think that from a president of Olympique de Marseille, we must know by heart the history of his club. Speaking and saying the word corruption, which is still very strong, he was heavily deceived compared to all this. »»
“For me it is necessarily unacceptable, inexcusable because it is a little bit of a reflection of our society today, continued Trémoulinas in the Greg team. Because even on the professional football fields, there is verbal, physical, more and more violence. Today if presidents do not agree, if there are concerns, they descend on the edge of the lawn and they will unmith with the referees. Whether the referees make mistakes or not, it is another debate. There is a lot to do at the referees. But even if the presidents are not allowed to descend and they go down. They go to the front against the referees, facing the instances. Today I have the impression that everything is open, it's a bit of Rio's carnival. What I find abnormal is that today we will express themselves by going to the field, going to the front. »»
It did not take more to see OM supporters and some partisan sites go up to the niche on the web to take offense from the former defender. The Tapie era remains a very sensitive subject in the environment of Olympique de Marseille.
