Olympique de Marseille is going through a major crisis. After his defeat against Stade Rennais (1-0), the vice-champion of France must now manage the Adrien Rabiot-Jonathan Rowe affair. Pushed outside by his management, the French international sees his mother, Véronique Rabiot, climb to the niche in the columns of Provence To denounce the decision of the leaders.
If the management presented a workforce shocked by the altercation, Véronique Rabiot disputes this version. “It's wrong! They are shocked by the sanction, not what happened. The players are written … It never happened, it's new to release a player because there was an altercation … it becomes painful, and it's totally lunar »»she says.
She then returned to the precise course of the fight to put the facts into perspective. “Adrien would not have apologized. And then, he should have apologized to Rowe? The disrespect should not be used. There is no excuse to make. These are two guys who have an altercation, it is the story of two men in a wardrobe. And then, I say it again, but the start of the altercation is between Rowe and Geronimo (Rulli). Rowe and Adrien do not think they have lacked the club, you can ask them but I assure you ”she adds.
“We are not at the opera”
For the representative of the former Parisian, the reaction of the management is disproportionate to the uses in football. “We are not at the Opera. Footballers are not in this thing, I even see the supporters say that it is normal that there are frictions after such a defeat. I want to tell you that when we react like that, that we speak as the leaders did, it is as if we landed in football or that we did not know the footballers ”she continues.
Finally, Véronique Rabiot denounces the exceptional severity of the sanction. “There have been lots of footballs in football and no one is never sanctioned. Ultimately, we put a fine, but we do not sanction them by placing them on the list of transfers ”she concludes, reviving the debate on disciplinary management within OM.
