Pablo Longoria's blood blow at the end of OM's defeat against Auxerre (3-0) continues to make waves. On Monday, it was a former player of the Marseille club who took care of responding to the Marseille president. Guest of the program Rothen ignites on RMC, Christophe Dugarry did not take tweezers to criticize the attitude of the Spanish leader.
“He has been on his nerves for six months, that he attacks arbitration,” he launched, before adding virulence: “It feels like the costume is too big for him. »»
A mea culpa insincons according to Dugarry
If Longoria apologized the day after his skid, recognizing excessive words, this did not convince Dugarry, who sees it as an awkward attempt at justification.
“When I hear him say that arbitration must progress … No, it's up to him to evolve, to manage frustration differently”he said. According to him, Longoria does not measure the impact of his words throughout French football. “When the president of OM speaks of corruption, what message does he send to young players and amateurs who read these words? It encourages the desecration of arbitration. »»
Longoria continues to take it for its rank.
A president losing control?
Dugarry's main criticism lies in the posture of Longoria, which he deems unworthy of a leader of a club on the wingspan of OM. “” He is not even on the ground, and yet he farts a cable ”, He exclaimed, comparing his behavior to a loss of composure symptomatic of a lack of mastery. For the former 1998 world champion, Longoria should have fully assumed his wrongs without trying to dilute them in a global criticism of arbitration.
A harmful impact on French football?
“Duga” did not just point the finger at Longoria's lack of mastery. He also alerted to the potential consequences of such declarations. “Everything that will happen next weekend on amateur land will also be his fault”, he hammered. For him, respect for the referees also depends on the example given to the highest level.
“If a club president allows himself to insult officials, how can we expect young players to do differently? He asked himself.
Can Longoria still straighten the bar?
If Dugarry acknowledges that the pressure inherent in the presidency of OM can be overwhelming, he believes that Longoria must learn from this affair and change his attitude. “Let him keep in mind the impact of his words, that he assumes his mistakes and that he grows as president”, he advises, before concluding: “He must embody the example, not exasperation. »» A reflection that resonates beyond the simple Marseille case.
