OM, Marcelino's terrible mistake

While Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is having a complicated start with Olympique de Marseille, to say the least, Eric Di Meco regrets Alexis Sanchez.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang suffered heavy whistles on Saturday during his outing against Lille. Consequence of a big missed opportunity and a disastrous start to the season with only one goal in 10 Ligue 1 matches. Enough to deepen regrets among Marseille supporters, who saw Alexis Sanchez leave. A departure for which Marcelino is primarily responsible according to Eric Di Meco.

“We know what happened with Sanchez, confided the former defender to the microphone of RMC. He waited at first, then returned to the club to negotiate for an extension. At that time, we explained to him that his profile no longer fit into the boxes of the new coach. So in addition to running away, he gave us a nice gift…”

“Maybe the leaders blamed this on him. However, his profile did not match. And there every match that we see pass with Aubameyang’s performances, we cry,” he continued, disappointed by the Marseille transfer window.
