Wednesday, Pablo Longoria, the president of Olympique de Marseille, was not going there dead hand to qualify incidents who occurred in the Marseille locker room, after a championship meeting at the end of last week. “We are the victim of a situation, a limitless fight, which is completely incredible in the world of football,” said Spanish.

Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe were instantly sidelined the group, then placed on the transfers list. Véronique Rabiot, the mother and counselor of the French international, was quick to react, as early as Thursday afternoon on the airwaves of RTL.

She confirms the fight, but does not adhere to the vocabulary used by Pablo Longoria: “What does that mean,” incredible violence “? No one was injured, no one went to the hospital, there was no broken nose, no split lips. No suture point, no days of itt, so I don’t understand well. If there had been really extreme violence, you could put it immediately. ”

At the end of the contract in 2026 with Olympique de Marseille

In his explanation, Pablo Longoria explained that he wanted to place “the OM institution” in the foreground: “a decision that protects the institution, which protects the season”. An explanation that Véronique Rabiot disputes. Adrien Rabiot’s advisor highlights two scenes to counter the Marseille president.

“Do you think they are serious these people when they speak of respect for the institution?” she said. The president, we heard him last season howl in front of the “corruption, corruption” cameras during I don’t know how long (Editor’s note: in Auxerre, February 22). Mr. Benatia, he had a knit to leave with the referees and was suspended. If anyone does not respect the club, which exactly? ”

According to her, the decision of the Marseille board would actually be linked to the contract of her son, who ended in June 2026. The player therefore entered the last year of his lease at OM. The leaders would not have wanted to lose their player for free next year, and would have preferred to force a sale this summer. As a reminder, his son had already gone to the clash with PSG a few years ago, before finally leaving free at the end of the contract. “I thought we had lived the worst with PSG, but I was wrong,” concluded Véronique Rabiot.

De Zerbi incriminates the entourage of Adrien Rabiot

Asked about the subject at a press conference this Friday, Roberto de Zerbi confirmed the version of its president’s facts: “I have never seen that. I come from the street, I am used to fights. But I had never seen that. There were the club’s bodyguards trying to separate them. Normally they must protect us from others, not of ourselves, ”said the Italian technician.

The Marseille coach also took the opportunity to put a layer from it, and overwhelm – indirectly – Véronique Rabiot. “At first, we decided to put the two players outside the group while waiting to see if there would be sincere regrets,” said Zerbi. It was a temporary measure, but the situation degenerated, not because of Marseille, but because of the entourage. ”
