The director of football at Olympique de Marseille, Medhi Benatia, delivered an interview to Provence this Saturday when he returned to the red card he had received against Lille in the Coupe de France at the start of the year. The former Juventus player revealed behind the scenes of his exclusion and the remarks that the FFF representative would have made.<\/p>\n

Olympique de Marseille lives a complicated season on all points. Beyond an end of exercise 2024-2025 which is complicated, the Phocaeans have experienced several problems behind the scenes. Pablo Longoria's setbacks were added to those of Medhi Benatia who, in an interview with Provence<\/a>returned to his suspension, temporarily lifted, after her red card received against Lille at the start of the year.<\/p>\n

“When we see Mr. Benatia, he is more physically impressive and he is much more afraid than Olivier L\u00e9tang”. This is the sentence that the representative of the French Football Federation would have pronounced. “Is it serious? It is to tell you in which world we live. Why am I more afraid than another?” Asked Medhi Benatia.<\/p>\n

A confirmed suspension then temporarily lifted<\/h2>\n

Just after his exclusion during the 16th finals of the French Cup against Lille, Medhi Benatia had out of the treatment that had been reserved for him. “Tonight, what I have just lived is serious. We are scoring, I'm going to see the fourth referee (J\u00e9r\u00e9my Stinat) to tell him that there was a penalty (on Rowe). By the way, I remove my coach who is arguing with Olivier L\u00e9tang. There are many people at that time, fifteen people. Cl\u00e9ment Turpin arrives at 50m, I come back and” Referee who tells me that I threatened it with my finger, “he said at the microphone of BeIN Sports a few minutes after the final whistle.<\/p>\n

Confirmed initially, the suspension of the OM football director was then lifted as a precaution after the call of the Phocaean club after the CNOSF. The FFF disciplinary committee had sent a firm three -month suspension and three months suspended from this incident. For his part, Olivier L\u00e9tang came out with a firm month and a month suspended. Marseille then judged the sanction “unfair and disproportionate”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
