Defeated this Wednesday evening against Lens (0-1), Olympique de Marseille is at the bottom of the hole. And the Phocaeans seem to have completely broken with their audience. Before this meeting, the supporters wanted to send a message to the players and management. In the stadium were several fairly explicit banners. “You are disgusting” written in blue and red letters, occupied the entire upper part of the south bend.
On the other side, a blue jersey was framed with two messages: “Wet it or break it!“and”Don’t give it away, respect it“. This last message certainly referred to Florian Thauvin, yet one of the few satisfactions on the Marseille side. The winger had exchanged his jersey with Kylian Mbappé at half-time during the Champions Trophy against PSG. These images had been captured on television and strongly criticized by Olympian supporters.
“You shame us“was also placed in the North bend. Another target of these sharp criticisms: President Jacques-Henri Eyraud. In front of the Vélodrome stadium, other posters were appearing.”Eyscraud releases “, a play on words between the name of the ruler and the title of crook or “JHE clears “ as revealed by Telefoot.
A palpable tension that did not help the gang at Villas Boas. The club remains on a poor 5 out of 21 and has come down to sixth place in Ligue 1. After the defeat against Nîmes, the red lantern, André Villas Boas had even resigned. A proposal refused by the club and by its president who thinks that the Portuguese can still reverse the situation.
Like what, it is not only in Charleroi or the Standard that the supporters do not hesitate to send messages with banners.
