Considering itself wronged by the arbitration during its draw against Lille on Saturday (1-1), Olympique de Marseille can count on its soldier Mehdi Benatia to go to the front and make his voice heard, even on social networks .
Already suspended three matches after strongly criticizing the refereeing last September, on the sidelines of the Olympico won by his OM in Lyon (3-2), Mehdi Benatia has apparently not learned his lesson. If he kept his tongue in his pocket during the post-match between Marseille and Lille on Saturday, the future Marseille sports director did not hesitate to send a few barbs on social networks. It must be said that even if the parity score between Marseille and Lille was logical at the Vélodrome, Willy Delajod did not really make decisions in favor of OM at the end of the match. Already by not calling a penalty for a foul on Hojbjerg in the area, but also by validating Diakité's equalizer despite a block on Balerdi at the start of the action… Decisions which drove all the Phocaeans crazy on Saturday evening, whether the players, the supporters, Roberto De Zerbi or Mehdi Benatia therefore.

On the social network Benatia also commented on another publication with emoticons, so as not to leave in silence this evening marked by important refereeing facts, until the expulsion of Pol Lirola in added time for a too virulent tackle… If Willy Delajod will remember his OM-LOSC for a long time, with an outing under protection and with a big bronca, Benatia will continue to fight so that his team is refereed in the best possible way to continue to believe in the title in L1.
