Even before the start of the season, the tension is already palpable between the players of Olympique de Marseille and their coach Igor Tudor. The management of the Croatian generates many tensions.
Tudor has already put his wardrobe behind…
Less than a week before the resumption of the French championship, the beginning of a crisis is already shaking Olympique de Marseille. As revealed on Monday by La Provence, the Marseille players are annoyed by the management of the new coach Igor Tudor and some executives have requested an appointment with the president Pablo Longoria to raise the problem.
Tudor’s way of speaking goes wrong
The OM players don’t question their coach’s tactics or preparation, but they don’t appreciate his lack of flexibility and his very direct, even harsh tone. For example, the tone rose very quickly between Tudor and Gerson, Cengiz nder or even Jordan Amavi, when the situation was not always worth it.
Earlier, Tudor’s attitude had precipitated the departure of Mauro Camoranesi, a few days after his arrival as deputy. The former midfielder simply couldn’t bear the way of talking to him about his ex-teammate Juventus Turin. In a very testing preparation, the players now also find it difficult to accept the remarks of their coach.
A meeting scheduled for Tuesday
They don’t blame the Tudor military preparation, it was the same with Sampaoli. But Tudor is sometimes icy, he unravels everything that Sampaoli has done, the game, the atmosphere, and the executives find it a shame to go to the opposite extreme , explains an intimate of the group in L’Equipe. Another close to the locker room confirms: Tudor came in and told them, in a nutshell, “You don’t run enough, you don’t work enough and you don’t play right.” Inevitably, created tensions.
To try to appease them, a meeting is scheduled for Tuesday between Tudor and his locker room, according to the sports daily. It will perhaps make it possible to burst the abscess and to refocus on the field as the reception of Reims looms on the horizon, Sunday, for the 1st day of Ligue 1. In the meantime, the Olympian management is one body behind its coach and promises to transfer one or two elements (recalcitrant) if necessary, reports L’Equipe. Player-claimed dialogue can prevent this from happening.
