Legend of Olympique de Marseille, Eric Di Meco had a little rant this week.
It’s an outing that hasn’t gone unnoticed. Passing on RMC this week, Jorge Sampaoli returned to the conditions of his departure from Olympique de Marseille.
“As I already said, after being runner-up in Ligue 1 and qualifying for the Champions League, I had other aspirations. I felt that the club did not necessarily have the means to fight against PSG. So I preferred, out of respect for the owner and for the president, to step aside. I thought that, to really progress, the club needed a different type of player. And the club was not in a position to bring them to me (…) Once it was taken, it was taken. Afterwards, the projects that I took behind, we can say that it was a mistake not to stay in Marseille. If I could go back, I would do it differently.”.
Di Meco does not believe this version
Very attentive to the words of Jorge Sampaoli, Eric Di Meco does not believe the official version of the Argentine technician. “He says what he wants, water has passed under the bridge but his explanation does not convince more than that, thundered the former French international. But what could be there? I don’t know, maybe because he explains to us that he left because this club didn’t have the ambition to go higher. We agree. To go behind to Sevilla in difficulty, to go behind to a club still in difficulty (Flamengo), where he was fired twice, and to tell us two years later that he surely made a mistake to leave Marseilles. And above all, when it comes the club is not playing for the title. »
“He knows very well that he is not joining a club which has great resources and which will compete with PSG. So that’s why this story, I think he wants to take it easy… Finally, he takes everything on himself, saying that “I had too much ambition” for the club but it’s not as that’s obvious”, concluded Di Meco.
