The Olympique de Marseille is currently shaken by an internal affair of an extra-sportive nature. Romain Molina reported disturbing details of a violent altercation in the team’s locker room involving players Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe, following a recent defeat. According to Molina, the incident started with comments made by Gerรณnimo Rulli, who, apparently frustrated by the result, would have criticized the past mistakes of the players using virulent Spanish language against Jonathan Rowe.
Facing these criticisms, Jonathan Rowe would have reacted vehemently. The intervention of Adrien Rabiot, which sought to calm the situation, paradoxically intensified the conflict. According to the journalist, Rowe did not accept Rabiot’s intervention and allegedly initiated a physical altercation with him. The situation would then have degenerated into a real fight within the locker room, requiring the intervention of several staff members to try to calm the players.
These revelations highlight a tense atmosphere within the Olympique de Marseille, where the pressure of the results seems to have a negative impact on the team. The incident also highlights the difficulty of managing strong and sometimes explosive personalities in a changing room. Following this episode, the club decided to separate the two players concerned.
