Olympique de Marseille fell to RC Lens (1-2) this Saturday in Ligue 1. A poor result which did not dampen the optimism of Marseille football director Mehdi Benatia. “
When I watched the first twenty minutes, it was perhaps the best twenty minutes with the ball since I was at the club. I congratulated the coach for that, and even for the first half as a whole », Confided the former Moroccan international.
“ When you come out of these last three or four days, with the content that the players were able to put in, both in the first half against Sporting and today against a great opponent – a team that runs a lot, that projects well, that is aggressive – we have really done great things. And you come out with two defeats… it’s hard, it’s complicated. But I think we also have to look at the content. In any case, for my part, I watch the content “, he continued.
“It’s total denial”
Benatia's exit did not take long to make Pierre Ménès react. On social networks, the former Canal+ columnist and journalist strongly criticized the analysis of the Marseille leader. “ You're happy for 20 minutes. The problem is that we match lasts 90. It's total denial » he wrote on Xformerly Twitter.
