After a series of three unsuccessful matches in Ligue 1, OM managed to move forward. This Sunday, Habib Beye and his men won narrowly on the Le Havre pitch, thanks to a penalty scored by Mason Greenwood (0-1). In a post-match press conference, the Marseille coach was keen to discuss his personal case after being contacted by a journalist. His speech has since been widely commented on.
Returning to a sequence that occurred during training last week between him and Mason Greenwood, Habib Beye first delivered his version of the facts. Then he said what he thought.
“What bothers me is not what is said, it is the lies about me and my person. »
Developing his remarks for several minutes, the coach felt he was directly targeted by rumors and criticism.
The day after this significant media release, Matthieu Dossevi reacted. The columnist for the L’Equipe channel estimated that Habib Beye had made a mistake. “I think he’s fighting the wrong fight. He’s a media man, he knows the environment he’s in. That unfortunately, and this is in keeping with the times, everything is amplified by social networks. He’s in a club where everything is amplified times ten. For me, he’s fighting the wrong fight. »
Habib Beye “is fighting the wrong fight”, according to Matthieu Dossevi
And the former TĂ©fĂ©cĂ© player continues. “The only thing he has to bring is on the pitch, through gestures like Mason Greenwood did. I don’t think he needs to express himself. In addition, in terms of timing, there is still one match left (against Rennes, May 17). Ultimately, he could have done it at the very end of the season to perhaps try to settle scores. There he still has a match behind, he draws the light on himself after a simple victory while there will still be a battle to fight. »
Then Matthieu Dossevi concluded. “I don’t think it’s directed at him. It’s OM that always conveys this kind of thing. All the players and coaches of the biggest clubs, as soon as things go a little less well, we know that the slightest little rumor can be amplified. I understand his feelings, but he is in the wrong fight to do it publicly. »
