Benatia refutes criticism of Marseille: They wanted to destabilize us but failed

In the 12th round of Ligue 1, Marseille defeated Brest 3-0 and temporarily ranked first in Ligue 1. After the game, Marseille director Benatia dismissed the criticism of Marseille.

First of all, Benatia cheered on the young players, including 18-year-old Robinho Watts, 17-year-old Daryl Bakola and 18-year-old Tajian Mmadi.

Benatia said: "I am with them every day. There are posters of them in my office (laughs). The coach also supports them. Now, we only average 2 points per game, which is a fact. But what makes me most proud is them, and they understand this. I dream that 3 to 4 young players will gain a foothold here in the short term."

"We are about to enter the offseason and everything is not over yet, but this makes us clearly aware of the areas where we need to improve. Contrary to what some people think, the team is very strong. We have been saying this since the 4-0 victory over Lorient on September 13. Before the transfer window closed, I also updated the team dynamics. I said that the players are strong and the team is strong. Strong and the coach is strong. We are the team with the highest points since Lorient."

"Then there will be various opinions from the outside: everything has to be overturned, everything is terrible, from me, the coach, the president, the players to the young players... I tell them every day: 'Don't listen to this nonsense.' They think. To destabilize us, they failed. Despite the absence of players, this is still a strong team. First of all, we have a lot of young players and they also give us a lot of help."

Marseille will face Nice (November 22) at home (November 26).
