Usually so polite since his arrival in Marseille, Pau Lopez completely let go, Sunday, after his team’s defeat on the Brest pitch, at the end of a match that the Marseillais played with numerical superiority. The Spanish goalkeeper made very strong comments.
“We are in deep shit. We’re the ones who got ourselves into this mess, now we have to take responsibility. The fans think we don’t deserve to wear the OM jersey, I agree with them”thundered the doorman in the mixed zone. “There are former players like Steve (Mandanda), Dimitri (Payet) who showed me that wearing the OM jersey is not what it means”.
OM: big discomfort within the locker room
While Olympique de Marseille has once again changed coach by announcing the induction of Jean-Louis Gasset in place of Gennaro Gattuso, the exit of Pau Lopez testifies to a real divide within the Marseille squad . Called to comment on this episode, Daniel Riolo said that “ the group cannot say that it is living well.”
