Was Pablo Longoria to know the VA-OM affair when he yelled in corruption?
On Monday, Pablo Longoria returned to his very controversial remarks after the defeat of Olympique de Marseille in Auxerre last Saturday. “There is no corruption in French football”, certified the president of the Marseille club in the columns of AFP.
However, in the past, corruption has existed in French football. In a proven way. And it is OM which is affected by a symptomatic case in this area. It is obviously the VA-OM affair, which had broken out in May 1993.
Longoria, an ignorance of corruption in OM?
Benoît Trémoulinas underlined this paradox. “It is rather strong of coffee from Pablo Longoria to talk about corruption when we talk about Olympique de Marseille. We know the club's liabilities very well ”recalled the old left side on the set of the show “L'Equipe de Greg”.
What if Pablo Longoria was simply not aware of this case? “I think that from a president of Olympique de Marseille, we must know by heart the history of his club”judged the sports consultant. As a reminder, Valenciennes players had been invited by OM emissaries to raise their foots in exchange for money.
