Faced with the difficulties encountered by the Olympique de Marseille, the club’s governing bodies are determined not to attribute responsibility for the disappointing results to the transfer market. Determined to assert their position, the leaders point out that the choices made during the last recruitment periods, whether winter or summer, are not to be called into question. They point out the example of Real Madrid, having overcome a half-season marked by the unavailability of several key players in defense, to continue winning victories, in order to justify their approach and demonstrate the possibility of overcoming obstacles.

Marseille decision-makers insist that the current team does not have a lower quality than it was six months ago, saying that injuries and absences should not be used as a pretext for saw teeth performance. They emphasize the importance of mentality, organization and depth of the bench as determining factors in sport success. According to them, the workforce remains competitive and cohesion, trust and strategy would be the elements to adjust, rather than the intrinsic quality of the players.

Finally, in order to preserve the serenity within the group and avoid any search for scapegoats, the leaders are categorical: the transfer market will not be pointed out. This posture aims to protect the unity of the team and to maintain a positive dynamic in view of the crucial deadlines that are approaching, thus consolidating an approach focused on collective responsibility and confidence in the potential of the Olympique de Marseille.
