Olympique de Marseille confirmed its difficulties at home last Saturday. Against LOSC, the Marseillais were caught in the final moments of the game because of a saving header from Bafodé Diakité. In a championship shock with European flavors, the Mastiffs and the Phocaeans shared the points. However, the referee of the match, Willy Delajod, was at the center of OM’s anger. “I don’t know, but honestly, as far as I’m concerned, tonight the referee, in my opinion, didn’t have a good game. I think he never really controlled the game.”declared Roberto De Zerbi in a post-match press conference. And the tone would also be raised on the side of the Olympian management.
The last straw for Olympique de Marseille?
For once, refereeing was at the heart of the debates after the match. In a boiling Vélodrome, the man in black even had to leave the pitch under escort as the end of the game was under very high tension. But Willy Delajod’s match was clearly not appreciated by the management of Olympique de Marseille. Indeed, according to the latest information from La Provence, the pill had great difficulty passing for Mehdi Benatia and Pablo Longoria. After the match against Olympique Lyonnais or against RC Lens, this is not the first time that the Marseille club has found itself in controversies linked to arbitration.
