OM spends its time talking about Paul Pogba without ever speaking has Paul Pogba.
Guest of L’After Foot on RMC this Thursday evening, Mehdi Benatia was obviously led to evoke the Pickaxewhose rumor of a transfer to OM has been going on for several weeks… but is mostly fantasy. « Today, we have to pay attention to balance, we have very efficient players in the middleasked the former defender, today Marseille sports advisor. Paul knows the respect and affection I have for him. Beyond the top player, he is a real leader. He has suffered a lot in recent seasons, with physical problems, his body has failed him quite a bit. He then got his suspension. Pablo (Longoria) spoke about him, he said everything. He likes it a lot. Necessarily, you see it on the market, you want to take a look. Today, concretely, can OM afford to bring back a player like Pogba if he is not physically ready and we have to wait six months? »
“We didn’t make three passes”
During the same interview, Benatia, among other things, did not mince her words about OM’s performances last season: “Last year, I spent six months where I had zero pleasure. Don’t talk to me about the European Cup semi-final, I don’t even know how we made a European Cup semi-final, it was catastrophic in the game, we didn’t make three passes… »
It remains to be seen whether the anomaly is the bad 2023-2024 season, or the good 2024-2025 season.
Ligue 1, a season already over?
