The season of Olympique de Marseille had barely started that it turned to the fire fair. Friday, August 15, at the end of a defeat conceded in Rennes (0-1) after having played a long time in numerical superiority, the Marseille cloakroom was shaken by an altercation between Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe. Following this, the two men were dismissed from the group by management. Rowe has been sold, Rabiot put on the list of unwanted. Two weeks later, the tricolor international still does not know what his immediate future will be done. And everyone chooses their camp.

This Friday, it was Raymond Domenech who took a position and who delivered his judgment. Between the intransigence and the sharp communication of OM leaders, and Adrien Rabiot, the chain consultant, the team decided to support the player. He explained why. “Why should he apologize?” What ? There is a fight with a player that we didn't want before the start of the season, who caused a lot of problems, they wanted to turn him, and he took him to the locker room and put pressure on him like a real cloakroom leader. Marseille should make him a statue. »»

A strong and clear judgment, however a little attenuated by the former coach of the Blues himself. “I am always a little excessive. I have never been pro-rabiot in his behavior and his decisions, but he is an exceptional, high level player, whom they need to do something in the European Cup. What are Marseille? »»

Domenech points to the direction of OM

Increasingly raised, Raymond Domenech also annoyed himself that Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia are apparently awaiting excuses from the mother and player of the player, Véronique Rabiot after the recent remarks of the latter.
“Is it Véronique Rabiot who plays?” (…) If they make the amalgamation between the two, it is because they want to separate from him because they want to do a financial matter. Simply. »»

For the time being, Adrien Rabiot is still not reinstated to the group of Roberto de Zerbi. This Friday, the Italian coach washed his hands in the situation at a press conference, preferring to indicate that he did not feel concerned. It is therefore between the tricolor international and its management that a solution should be found.
