Pointed out by Roberto De Zerbi and some of his players after the draw against Lille, Willy Delajod has been the subject of a campaign since Saturday intended to smear him, including outside Ligue 1 fields.
The match between OM and LOSC was sumptuous on Saturday late afternoon, and not even far from being the best match of this first part of the L1 season. But, a few refereeing decisions annoyed both camps, even if inevitably, it was on the Marseille side that it grumbled the loudest, the Marseille club having seen a precious victory slip away from them at the very end of the match. Facing the media, the OM coach and some players did not hesitate to attack Willy Delajod, and inevitably this added fuel to the fire on X (formerly Twitter). In addition to the usual insults uttered against the referee, some went much further.
Indeed, in civilian life, Willy Delajod is a real estate agent, and enraged fans of Olympique de Marseille went to submit very negative opinions about the agency where the French referee works. Messages where some OM supporters qualify the latter as “ thief » in other unflattering terms, which inevitably impacts his image and that of his employer on the internet. Faced with an outburst of hatred, certain supporters of Olympique de Marseille are calling for calm and reason, recalling that all this did not deserve so many angry reactions against the referee of the match against Lille. Common sense reactions even if inevitably the sporting issues make everyone nervous, OM having big ambitions this season and players who match their ambitions.
