Present at a press conference this afternoon on the eve of OM-Lille, the Marseille coach could not avoid questions about the future of Enzo Sternal, announced to be leaving this winter. He agreed to answer it, with all the honesty that we know him to be.
“If he doesn’t play, it’s because I think he doesn’t deserve me. »
“There is competition, players better than him at the moment.
The pitch gives me answers, he played at the start of the championship because he deserved it, like some young people this season. I'm not looking to give a gift, if he doesn't play, it's because I think he doesn't deserve it. Young people must have patience and wait their turn, progress. I am one of the coaches in Europe who gets young people playing more. If a young person has to play, he will play, but the objective is the results. It’s clear to them, their entourage, their agents…”
The French U18 international is under contract with OM until June 30, 2027. He has only played 22 minutes in Ligue 1 this season.
