Enough to annoy Didier Deschamps, who, in comments at a press conference relayed by RMC, did not hesitate to state… “I’m not surprised, unfortunately. Everyone knows the rivalry with PSG and Sunday’s match. It shouldn’t happen, it’s the French team, it’s the captain. After all, it’s not even the entire stadium. But this is not unique to Marseille. Elsewhere in the province, other players may have been whistled. In competition, here, there are no worries. But it shouldn’t. Come on, I’ll be nice: it’s frustrating, to say the least. », the estimate of the coach of the Blues.
