After trying different sports, Thibault turned to a career as an amateur footballer. When making a choice between becoming a professional footballer and a journalist, the qualities tipped the scales to one side. Here he is now in the editorial team of 10 Sport, after a diploma obtained at the International Institute of Communication in Paris.

On October 27, OM fell heavily at home against PSG (0-3). While we expected a lot from this Classic to see if the Marseille club could overshadow the Parisians, Roberto De Zerbi's players did not really exist. A disappointing performance for everyone in Marseille and Mehdi Benatia clearly did not hide his disappointment with this result from OM.

With the XXL recruitment carried out by OM this summer, we thought that the Marseille club could be on par with the PSG. But for the first Classic of the season, there was clearly no match. Indeed, on the pitch at the Vélodrome, the Phocéens, reduced to 10 against 11, were completely overwhelmed. A heavy defeat (0-3) where the players of Roberto DeZerbi had no burst of pride.

“You can’t be a non-match, lack personality”

Pour RMC, Mehdi Benatia returned to this defeat against PSG at the Vélodrome. And the sports advisor of theABOUT clearly did not like the face displayed by the Olympian players: “ The defeat against PSG, it's not the fact that it's PSG, that's not what bothers me. I have never compared myself to PSG. People said we were going to tickle them. When you talk about a young team, with a lot of new players, you can't come and say that we're going to compete in Ligue 1. That's not our idea. We want to put our ideas in place, to give this confidence to the coach and we know that it takes time. But you can't have a non-match, lack personality, lack combativeness like we did against PSG, in front of 60,000 people ».

“Even in the intensity, we are not there”

« I don't understand it and I never will. I see how we prepared for the week in Paris, it was with very high pressure, with intensity when losing the ball. There was everything. When you get there, you spend 20 minutes, there's nothing at all. None of that. Even in the intensity, we are not there », continued Benatia.
