During an interview with L’Equipe, Pablo Longoria admitted his mistakes. A speech that pleased Christophe Dugarry who explained it on RMC, he even admits to having changed his mind regarding the president of OM.
Christophe Dugarry admitted to having changed his mind regarding Pablo Longoria. “Yes, I changed my mind about Longoria. I was very hard on him, I had the impression that he was missing the point and that he was a troublemaker. Afterwards, he is a president who is not afraid to do things. He is hyperactive, sometimes too much, sometimes it went in all directions and it was sometimes incomprehensible. But he came up with ideas, he took responsibility even if he was wrong. When someone recognizes their mistakes I like it, no one has the truth in football. What OM has become today is coherent, you have De Zerbi, Hojbjerg, Rabiot. He managed to convince his shareholder to hand over money at a complicated time. I want to say well done. »
I want to say bravo — Dugarry
In a long interview given to the Team, Pablo Longoria was asked about the choice to take Adrien Rabiot. “It was a huge opportunity, at club level. We decided to be ambitious, and at the same time demanding. I asked all teams to have additional commercial income to enable them to recruit Adrien Rabiot. This was not planned for August 30. We now have to create extras, to bring everyone to the same level. (…) When Medhi told me that there is this Rabiot possibility, it was a bit like with coach De Zerbi. The first thing was to call the supervisory board to explain, the second to explain to Frank. Everyone was aligned: we are taking a financial risk to try to win in sport, and that brings us a lot more benefits in the future. In my position, clearly, it’s a big advantage to have a solid, stable and determined owner like him. When I was analyzing all the numbers to bring in Adrien, how… Frank said to me: “Here we go!” » OK, I have to do things right, but your owner has faith. »
