The atmosphere is not good in Marseille, it is an understatement. The humiliating defeat in Reims (3-1) and the consequences in the classification led to a rant of Adrien Rabiot whose deflagrations are still felt. After the final whistle, at the microphone of BeIN Sports, the OM midfielder did not chew his words and seemed to aim for some of his partners, without naming them.
“It hurts to display this state of mind. We have goals and that's not enough. I have the impression of seeing guys who do not want to go to the Champions League, who do not want to fight to know this ”?, said the former PSG and Juventus player.

Luis Henrique, long the best Marseillais this season, is negotiating the role of piston less and less well that the Italian technician entrusted to him. But were they really much worse than their comrades?
Rabiot himself was average. The defense was of an apocalyptic level, with a goal conceded to almost each incursion. The midfield, without Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, did not respond, with the exception of a slightly miraculous and lonely action by Valentin Rongier for the reduction of the gap … The attackers were not found in the areas interesting for them and did not exceed their function to find the solution.
The moment is important for OM, which seems between two waters, with the risk of exploding after this chain of results and services ranging from cute to bad, or to become aware of the gravity of the moment to resolve. Monaco, a new Dolphin of PSG, has only one point ahead. But behind, the pack is on the lookout …
