The approach of Benjamin Pavard did not go unnoticed. Uninspired in his two contested matches with OM last week against Sporting (1-2) then Lens (1-2), the 2018 world champion presented a sincere apology on his Instagram account.
A mea-culpa which has generated certain misunderstandings in the football world. “ This is new. The guy tears up over two matches, it happens, launched Daniel Riolo on RMC. We’re not going to hit you. We have the doctor’s note and the excuses ‘forgive me, please‘”.
Benjamin Pavard, OM executive.
Same story for Jérôme Rothen, consultant on the station. “It’s just talk.” You can’t send this message to everyone explaining that you apologize for your performancethus asserted Jérôme Rothen in his show on RMC. When you’re not at your best, you shut up and admit it. You admit it but you get back to work. Because there he put extra pressure on himself for the next match. Who says he won’t be bad in the next match? Because it can happen. And then what will he say? Another apology message? »
“This is totally rubbish!” »
Christophe Dugarry went even further. “ I find this totally ridiculous. If he has to apologize every time he misses a match, misses a pass, scores an own goal or something else… I find it totally pathetic and ridiculous, he was indignant. I already found it ridiculous when the players at the end of the match were going to stand in front of the supporters’ stands to get flogged. I find it totally stupid! “.
“If every player, every time there is one who misses something, starts apologizing, then we will no longer get by,” he added. I find that it makes no sense, it’s pure and simple nonsense. Besides, I find that it’s absolutely useless. If I’m a Marseille fan, I tell myself that I don’t care if Pavard apologizes.”concluded Dugarry, as cash as ever.
