“Only God knows what he told me”the Congolese defender said to the media, which led many people to think that the Moroccan coach had made racist remarks.
Mbemba wanted to “hurt” Ounahi
Questioned on the subject by Colinterview, Yassine Bounou regretted Mbemba’s behavior. “You leave ambiguity, people talk. First of all, it wasn’t good. It’s better to not talk and say nothing or to come out and say exactly what happened. Everything that has been relayed is rubbish”explained the Moroccan goalkeeper, for whom what happened had nothing to do with racism. “Someone told him he was stupid, that’s what they told him and he understood,” said Bounou.
The former Sevilla player goes even further by accusing Mbemba of having ignited the powder during the meeting, with a heavy accusation. “En-Nesyri told me: ‘During the whole match, he was only insulting me even though I didn’t speak to him,’ says Bounou. Afterwards, he told his teammates to go towards Azzedine Ounahi to hurt him, to run into him. » An OM player who would recommend to his teammates in the selection to attack his club partner? This should get people talking in the Marseille locker room, while waiting for Mbemba to deliver his version of the facts on this subject.
