In the aftermath of OM’s defeat at Lille (2-1), Bixente Lizarazu spoke of the absence of Dimitri Payet and the treatment given to him by Igor Tudor.
Olympique de Marseille failed to beat LOSC Saturday evening (2-1, 36th day of Ligue 1). A bad operation for the Phocaeans in the race for second place, synonymous with direct qualification for the next Champions League. During this meeting, OM could not count on a Dimitri Payet not retained in the group by Igor Tudor. According to TF1, it’s an attitude “casual” of the player during training on Friday, after learning that he would not start against Lille, who convinced the Olympian coach not to take him to the North. For Bixente Lizarazu, Marseille would have needed his luxury joker.
The consultant spoke on the Sunday show Telefoot and after praising Igor Tudor, he gave his opinion on the latter’s handling of the Payet case. ” Tudor’s intransigence led him to have these results to be able to play in the Champions League, but at the same time on the Payet case… I think he has always performed well, he hasn’t given up despite the fact that he was downgraded. He shut his mouth. And I find that he (Igor Tudor) is hard. He was disappointed not to play that game. It’s hard. »
“At this time of the season (…) it’s a shame”
For the former Bayern Munich player, Tudor would therefore have made a mistake at a key moment in the season. ” At this time of the season, depriving yourself of certain players who can bring something offensively is a shame. This may not have changed yesterday’s game, but still. “While waiting to know the result of Lens which plays this Sunday in Lorient (5:05 p.m.), Marseille is third, two units from second place.
