Didier Deschamps, keeping a discreet attitude on the internal affairs of the clubs, clarified his position regarding the departure of Adrien Rabiot. He stressed that he does not interfere with conflicts between players, coaches and leaders, focusing solely on the sport dimension and the availability of his international players. He stressed the importance of a solution suitable for the player and the Olympique de Marseille, in favour of sports continuity and balance in the field. Deschamps also acknowledged the multiplicity of versions surrounding this transfer, but refused to engage in a controversy, claiming that there is only one truth and that everyone will retain its own. He concluded by stressing that Rabiot had found a way out, which is the essential, and that his priority remains the sport and mental situation of his players.

The Olympique de Marseille experienced a summer of active transfers, with the arrival of players like Pavard and the departure of Cornélius to the Rangers. However, the team missed opportunity in its last match against Olympique Lyonnais, bowing 1-0 despite a prolonged numerical inferiority. The goaltender, Gerónimo Rulli, expressed his frustration at the lack of character and lucidity of his team, regretting that she could not take advantage of the opportunities and configuration of the game. He stressed a lack of adaptation to a combative opponent and a lack of exploitation in dangerous areas.

Rulli stressed that training efforts are not enough without application in the field, and that collective performance is paramount. He called on his teammates to raise their level of commitment and concentration to prevent this kind of opportunity from happening again. This match, which could be a turning point for OM, leaves a bitter taste and requires a significant improvement in the overall performance of the team.
