Before an OM-Montpellier of the utmost importance, Medhi Benatia came out of silence on the recent news of OM, but the director of football of OM first warned everyone in the columns of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laprovence.com\/article\/om\/22722659012911\/om-sans-ligue-des-champions-ce-serait-une-catastrophe-notre-interview-exclusive-de-medhi-benatia\"><em>Provence<\/em><\/a>ensuring that<em>&#8220;With our latest performances, victory is compulsory&#8221;<\/em> Faced with the red lantern of L1.<\/p>\n<div class=\"adWrapper adWrapper--m\">\n            <span>The continuation after this advertisement<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><iframe data-raw-src=\"https:\/\/www.ultimedia.com\/deliver\/generic\/iframe\/mdtk\/01499698\/zone\/1\/showtitle\/1\/src\/xplu80k\" width=\"734\" height=\"413\" frameborder=\"0\" title=\"Vid\u00e9o - Mercato, &quot;taupes&quot;, tensions\u2026 Medhi Benatia l\u00e2che ses v\u00e9rit\u00e9s sur la crise \u00e0 l\u2019OM\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" style=\"z-index:1;\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"true\" mozallowfullscreen=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Medhi Benatia, just like Pablo Longoria during the week, then returned in length to the crisis of result crossed and a winter transfer window that some point the finger, which destabilized the team. If he ensures that Roberto de Zerbi asked for two central defenders, <em>&#8220;It&#39;s true, but we couldn&#39;t do them. Pablo, the coach and I would have liked to bring back two central tops, even more strong \u201d<\/em>he refutes a recruitment error and claims to have brought in quality players at respectable costs. <em>\u201cOn paper, the team is at least as good as that of the first leg. That&#39;s why I say it&#39;s a mental problem &#8220;<\/em>he explains, ensuring that an outing of the podium after the season would be unacceptable. <\/p>\n<h3>Medhi Benatia evokes &#8220;taupes&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>Because Benatia has pointed out the mental deficiencies of his team, more than defensive concerns: <em>&#8220;It is not acceptable to take 3-0 and it is a sign that some have mentally dropped&#8221;<\/em>he explains. Before returning to a question that made a lot of noise: who is the mole? Medhi Benatia first refuted the possible tensions between RDZ and his group, while confirming a concern on this subject. <em>&#8220;I have never seen an environment where it is not going on the field, people from the interior of the club seek to sow Zizania!&#8221; I have never known that! People think it&#39;s normality, I call it mediocrity &#8220;<\/em>he said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"adWrapper adWrapper--m\">\n            <span>The continuation after this advertisement<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><em>&#8220;When it is not going on this club, we demolish, some have rather interest in what it does not turn while we are building something (&#8230;) and it is already a danger, because it is unheard of to hear a leader say that (&#8230;) football is not that. We have to talk about stability, let people work. &#8220;<\/em>added Benatia, who admits a destabilization company, but which does not come from his staff. <\/p>\n<p>Finally, the last point refuted by Medhi Benatia: requests for the sidelines of Luis Henrique and Mason Greenwood by certain players, including Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Adrien Rabiot. But the Marseille leader cut short by ensuring that the two players were unifying and among the most pros in the locker room. <em>\u201cAt no time did they come to see me to dismiss players. People who come out that do not want the good of OM \u201d<\/em>.
