Have you read some of the rumors and news circulating regarding Marseille lost to Auxerre?
Pablo Longoria made surprising statement by saying that the referee in the Ligue 1 match was corrupt, haha ​​this is an incident where someone who is angry and does not accept being lost, it can get Marseille into trouble.
I saw Marseille dominate completely but luck was with Auxerre because they could use every opportunity to score goal, although little disappointed but the result cannot be changed that Marseille lost badly.
I think Pablo Longoria comments reflect his disappointment and also seek justification after his team lost, no matter what the Ligue 1 referee is doing in the match, I think the loss has to do with their poor performance and it's not fair for Pablo Longoria to blame the referee without looking at his own team performance so far, they've lost five times this season and most of those losses were from weaker teams so far.
Actually, Marseille have good squad and is almost on par with PSG in the ligue 1 if we compare from other teams, so even if the referee wasn't neutral in a match, shouldn't the team ability and quality allow them to win or at least not lost badly that match?
apart from that, Pablo Longoria should remember that Marseille also lost from Auxerre in a match that took place earlier this season, so I think that actually shows that Auxerre performed better than Marseille regardless of whether he accusation is true or not.
It is also reported that he received sanctions and fines for what he said, but this is not the first time that Marseille management has also issued several similar statements every time their team lost, now most people think that what happened was decline in Marseille playing performance and they became bad.
In the future, in the remaining matches when they return to performing like this, their position as the team in second place is also threatened to be taken over by Nice, which is currently only 3 points away and Nice has also performed quite well in the last few match with consecutive wins, then Marseille will meet Nantes and Lens before meeting PSG, I curious how they will face PSG later.
