Implicated for threatening remarks against Pablo Longoria, Rachid Zéroual delivered his version of the events that occurred during a meeting between management and OM supporters on September 18 on Monday evening.
What was really said this evening of September 18, during a particularly heated meeting between the management of Olympique de Marseille and the representatives of the supporter groups? While the Marseille club assured in a press release that “ personal threats » had been uttered, some media explained that the tone had risen during the meeting, Eurosport Spain even going so far as to mention death threats addressed to the president of OM, Pablo Longoria. Targeted by his accusations, Rachid Zéroual wanted to deliver his truth.
During an interview given to RMC and broadcast Monday evening, the leader of the South Winners explained himself and returned to his discussion with Pablo Longoria: “ Yes, I met him, yes I spoke with him after this famous meeting on the 18th. I asked him to deny that I had threatened to kill him. When you bring parents to a meeting and you defend a noble cause, you are not there threatening people with death. » Asked again if he had really not made such threats, Rachid Zéroual once again rejected such a possibility: “Ilove of life. I wouldn’t be in front of you if I had threatened to kill him. With everything I hear and what people try to put on me, I have the impression that they wanted to muzzle me and isolate me. »
“I will fight for the people of Marseille”
For Rachid Zéroual, the accusations would therefore be unfounded, he who recalled his visceral attachment to his club. “ I am from Marseille, I live for my club from morning to evening, I will fight for the Marseillais as well as for my members, as for OM, that is clear and clear. Now, when we love our OM, when we hate injustice, it is not done to us in reverse. »
