OM sporting director Medhi Benatia and Marseille club scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have a strange history.
They are part of the essential frameworks of the new OM. Medhi Benatia, as sporting director, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the veteran scorer, are no strangers to the Olympians’ encouraging first part of the season. In the past, however, the two men have had trouble. Kindly.
The Phocaean this weekend recalls a stormy episode between two players of character who in 2017, in particular, had crossed paths within the framework of the qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup and an African poster between Morocco and Gabon. Before the Panthers’ defeat against the Atlas Lions (3-0), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang denounced a strange intoxication.
The famous poisoned orange juice
“ Half the team + the staff incredible stomach ache on the day of the match… oh no it’s bad. What a hell of an orange juice this morning! » A message then posted on Twitter which did not fail to challenge the Moroccan selection, and in particular a certain Medhi Benatia, then pillar of the defense of the Reds and Greens.
In a video also shared on social networks, the future leader of OM had fun with the accusations made by the Gabonese attacker, ironically about a well and truly proven poisoning, but tea and not orange juice. Benatia at the time still took care to calm things down. “ It’s family “, he recalled in particular, describing Aubameyang as “ old brother “.
