Neal Maupay, OM striker, explained behind the scenes of his training after Marseille's victory in Lyon (2-3) on September 23.
Neal Maupay is making a special place for himself in the hearts of Marseille supporters. His fighting temperament on the pitch and his rather honorable statistics (2 goals, 3 assists in nine L1 matches) make him a player appreciated by the public. His ability to sleep too. The striker on loan from Everton distinguished himself by his mockery against his opponents in the Premier League or Ligue 1. The Lyonnais were the first to pay the price since his return to France.
“I don’t see anything wrong with that.”
After Marseille's miraculous victory at Groupama Stadium (2-3) on September 22, the former Nice player published a photo on his Instagram account drinking from a bottle bearing the OL logo with this remark: “l 'OL, it's water', a phrase as if to mean that he delights in the bitterness of his rivals. In an interview with Canal+ on Sunday, he explained behind the scenes of this publication.
“We were after the match in the locker room, we celebrated, we were happy,” he recalls. “I was drinking after the shower and Mick, our steward, said to me: 'it would be nice if I took a picture of you with this bottle'. I said: 'we pose, I drink, the logo (from OL on the bottle, Editor's note), we have just won, people will make the connection' I like it when you have to scratch a little, I don't see anything wrong with that, you just shouldn't. going beyond the limits is just something that I search in life or in the field.”
A few weeks later, Maupay did it again by making fun of Nicolas Pallois after the victory in Nantes, then celebrating with irony the success in Lens (1-3) to the tune of Corons by Pierre Bachelet, the supporters' anthem Sang et However. Sunday, he remained rather measured after the success against Monaco (2-1) during which he delivered a decisive pass to Luis Henrique.
