Pablo Longoria is very animated during the matches of his club, Olympique de Marseille. The Spaniard defends the Marseille club tooth and nail as soon as it is attacked. This was particularly the case during the meeting on the OGC Nice – Olympique pitch in 2021, when Dimitri Payet received a bottle on the head. The president of OM was furious and had fallen out with his Nice counterpart, Jean-Pierre Rivère, who returned to this quarrel on the Evening Team set.
“I got a little heated”
The episode of the bottle on Payet had created enormous tension on the field, but also off it. Jean-Pierre Rivère was very angry with Pablo Longoria who was also furious: “At that time, I discovered Pablo, with whom we get along very, very well today. He has a particularity, during matches, he is very expressive. In front of him, there was my ex-wife who said to him “calm down”. There, he was a little vehement and I’m sorry, but you don’t touch a woman and you talk to her properly and at that moment, indeed, I. got a little heated. That’s where I didn’t see all the incidents and everything that followed… With Pablo, we reconciled, we are very happy and we work well and I see that he always has. this passion.” In the end, all’s well that ends well.
