Marseille, your merciless universe.
Placed in the famous OM loft this summer, Jordan Veretout finally left the Commanderie to join Lyon. A few hours after OL’s victory in Toulouse this Sunday (1-2), the midfielder was able to look back on the tumultuous end of his adventure in the Marseille city in an interview broadcast on Canal Football Club. “A few days before the start, Mehdi Benatia calls me and says: ‘Jordan, the coach has arrived, he has a different philosophy and you no longer fit into the project. I just answered him: ‘ok, there’s no problem, but we have to find a solution’ »he said.
The former Stéphanois regretted the treatment reserved for him by OM in this matter: “I gave a lot, I never cheated, I was good enough, maybe not for everyone. I didn’t understand but I respected, I left with the reserve team. With a little more class, I think the best thing would have been to be part of the group knowing that I have to leave”. Especially since Veretout was also targeted on social networks by certain Marseille fans.“My wife is more online, so she has received messages that are harsh. She knows that people who are behind their phone or their computer, it’s easy for them. But in no case, when I was walking in the street, people insulted me”he explained.
Veretout will have seen it all.
