OM experienced a similar soap opera, to a very different degree of importance, than PSG with Kylian Mbappé. After trying to extend Pape Gueye, the Senegalese left free as the leaders had feared for several months. And he has already broken a sad record in La Liga.
The story between Pope Gueye et loon was completed this summer. At the end of his contract with the Marseille club, the Senegalese midfielder joined Villarreal and so he found the Liga that he had known with the Sevilla FC. He had also sent a dig to the Marseille leaders upon his departure, declaring on Instagram : « Club managers who put false information in the press by tarnishing the image of a player they want to see leave (plus I think people are not fooled, most know that everything is false ) “. Far from OM, he quickly made his mark in the history of his new championship.
Clash Gueye-Longoria
Pablo Longoria still has difficulty digesting the attitude of Pope Gueye. « It’s a protective reflex that I often saw within the group last season. I have a lot of respect for Marcelino, (Gennaro) Gattuso and even (Jean-Louis) Gasset. And they all noticed it: in this locker room, he had built a sort of barrier with the outside world, whether it was the coach, the managers. I took this publication badly, of course. When I finished my adventure with Valencia (in 2019), I respected the club which gave me an opportunity,” he confided to The Team. And meanwhile, in his own way, Gueye entered the legend of the Spanish championship.
Gueye makes La Liga history
Expelled against Valence on August 31, Pope Gueye became the player to receive four red cards in the fastest time in Liga in the 21st century. In fact, it only took him 20 games to reach this total. A sad record which has the merit of belonging to him.
