The return of Alexis Sanchez to the Vélodrome was welcomed by Olympique de Marseille supporters this week. With Chile against France, he once again set foot on the Marseille pitch, to the applause of the stadium. This is not understandable for Jean-Michel Larqué.
Jean-Michel Larque was on RMC in Jérôme Rothen’s show on RMC this Tuesday, a few hours before the start of the match between the France and Chile in Velodrome. The Marseille stadium was the scene of the return ofAlexis Sanchez has Marseille since his departure from loon. For Jean-Michel Larqué, the ultra positive treatment that the attacker can have is not deserved, especially in comparison to the great scorers that he has experienced loon in its history.
Compared to Skoblar, to Papin, a Drogba, a Niang… Where is he? He’s on the ground floor! No, he’s even in the cellar!
“I blame them for not knowing the history of Olympique de Marseille,” accuses Larqué, speaking of the supporters who adore Sanchez. I’m not going to say here that Sanchez is an OM legend, nor am I going to say that he was an average player. He’s a good player, who spent a year and turned his back on OM. He preferred the Inter Milan bench. Besides, he left there, he arrived in Marseille, he had the chance to play and to once again prefer the Inter bench to a center forward position at OM… If only for that, already, for this attitude… I find that the word legend is very questionable. I wouldn’t fantasize about someone who turned their back on me when they were offered a decent contract, to say the least. It’s all about comparison in football… If I fantasize or there are those who fantasize about Alexis Sanchez, they still forget that OM have had other center forwards than Alexis Sanchez… And what others before -centers. So yes, he is better than Mitroglou or Valère Germain or Vitinha but compared to Skoblar, Papin, a Drogba, a Niang… Where is he? He’s on the ground floor! No, he’s even in the cellar! I’m sure he provided services. Aubameyang after 2 and a half months where his feet were upside down, he is making Sanchez forget… I don’t think we can fantasize about the performances of Alexis Sanchez. The way he turned his back on the club, just that, doesn’t deserve to be made a legend. »
