Benatia leaves doubt about her future
« In Marseille, it’s difficult to plan ahead. Once again, I speak for myself. Look, after Nantes (0-2 defeat in Ligue 1 last Sunday), there was everything to throw away. So for my part, I am not planning at all, quite the contrary. You just have to know how to take advantage, in quotes, of this type of match even if it is not a victory, to take advantage of the work that has been done, not all the time criticizing, criticizing. In a short time you will see that there will be other people in our place, we will still have to give them time to work », he blurted out in the mixed zone before continuing.

« In Marseille, you never have time. It’s all the time in adversity, in criticism, in all that. And that’s the truth. So personally, I’m not planning on anything at all, I’m looking at tomorrow. Is the team capable of delivering the same performance, with the same desire, the same continuity? For me it will be a victory already », added Medhi Benatiavisibly very uncertain about its long-term future atABOUT.
