Marseille president Pablo Longoria spent ‘sleepless night’ writing LinkedIn post | OneFootball

Marseille club president Pablo Longoria made a lengthy statement on LinkedIn earlier this week hoping to show a united front at the club before facing bottom side Montpellier this weekend. “I don’t usually speak out publicly during tense periods. But I feel this is the right moment. Soberly. Simply,” Longoria wrote. “We’re not here to assign blame. Nor to feed the noise around us.” Longoria also took the time to address Marseille’s supporters, particularly those who made the trip to Monaco. “I understand the frustration. And I understand the anger.”The Spaniard called for unity at the club ahead of the last five games of the season, where UEFA Champions League qualification will be vital for Les Olympiens to avoid disaster by the end of the season. According to a report from L’Équipe, Longoria spent a sleepless night writing the lengthy statement on LinkedIn. Marseille’s current third place Champions League spot currently hands by a thread, with Lyon trailing one point behind and LOSC as well as Strasbourg chasing just behind on 50 points. Les Olympiens face bottom side Montpellier this evening at the Vélodrome (21:05 CET).GFFN | George Boxall
