Habib Beye, the lies denounced

OM coach Habib Beye is facing an odious smear campaign according to some observers.

The OM season has turned into a nightmare, still full of promise last January and today synonymous with total desolation. With at best for the Marseillais a fifth final place unworthy of their rank, their budget and their ambitions. After the departure of Roberto De Zerbi, under the leadership of Habib Beye, the atmosphere continued to become electrified. To the point of making the Olympians coach particularly bitter.

“ What bothers me is not what is said. These are the lies about me and my person. We will be very clear now. Today, these are lies that are being put out in public regarding Habib Beye. He is not the coach of Olympique de Marseillesaid the Senegalese strategist Sunday evening after the success of his team in Le Havre (0-1). I can tell you that I have rarely seen such relentlessness in a person. Rarely. And I tell you, I am very, very strong… »

Last week, a rumor circulating on the Internet was that he had a conflictual relationship with OM star Mason Greenwood and that training was interrupted on a whim. An episode formally denied, including by a number of journalists familiar with the Commanderie. The fake news in question lends credence to the thesis of targeted score-settling thus presented by the main party concerned.

“A trend to take down Habib Beye for two months”

On RMC, Daniel Riolo confirms: “ What happened at the end of the season in Marseille is absolutely disgusting. Some journalists would do well to look at themselves in the mirror in the morning, because they have told a lot of stupid things. I don’t know for what purpose… Today, I have often said it, social networks dictate behavior. There was a fashion, a trend, a hype, a trend to dismantle Habib Beye for two months. »

And the polemicist adds: “ There are more and more journalists, young and old, who are afraid of what will be said on the networks. And who prefer to be on the right train. (…) THISthat doesn’t mean that everything
(Beye, editor’s note) has done is fantastic, that he has done everything well since he has been here, that he has not made any mistakes. But there were lies, invented stories, and people wanted to hurt him. »
