After the fight between Rabiot and Rowe and the tensions that broke out in the OM locker room, the Marseille club found itself plunged into a real internal and media crisis. Between accusations, family interventions and sanctions, the atmosphere was permanently disrupted. Result: Jonathan Rowe left the Marseille city and Adrien Rabiot could quickly imitate him.
For its part, the Stade Rennais, surrounded by its inaugural victory against OM (1-0), brutally disillusioned during the Derby in Lorient. Reduced to nine after only twelve minutes of play, Habib Beye's men sank 4-0 at the Moustoir, a reverse that highlighted internal tensions.
Because if the Breton coach had his face closed at the final whistle, it was not only because of the score. As reported Ouest-Franceseveral Rennes players would multiply delays and adopt unprofessional behavior, enough to annoy a staff already under pressure.
“It annoys me”
Habib Beye was quick to react. Mousa al-Tamari, expected as a holder against Lorient, was dismissed from the group for failure to punctuity, just like Mikayil Faye against Marseille. Strong decisions supposed to remind everyone to their responsibilities.
The technician has raised his tone. “It annoys me, afterwards, it is a question of professional conscience. If you don't have it in a club like Stade Rennais, you cannot exist in the long term ”he said at a press conference. A clear warning: without discipline, the Rennais locker room risks diving into a crisis.
