Dezelby: Lovie & Rabiote fights like I have never seen before, and they are still fighting after their teammates fainted

In the first round of Ligue 1, Marseille lost to ten players Rennes 0-1. After the game, fierce conflict broke out between Rabiot and Jonathan Love, and both of them were listed for sale. Today, Marseille coach De Zelby talked about the conflict between the two for the first time when attending the press conference.

Dezelby said: "As Benatia said, I played football for a long time. I am used to solving problems in the locker room, but I have to rectify order.

" This is necessary. In the workplace, if two employees beat each other, just like in a British bar, one teammate even fell to the ground due to loss of consciousness. What should the French employer do? Two options: suspension or dismissal.

"Benatia and Longoria communicated with me last Saturday and Sunday, and we waited until Monday to issue a statement. We made a clear decision: first exclude players from the lineup during the assessment of the situation. Football clubs, like other places, must have a hierarchy. Clubs are above everything else, and above the players are coaches and clubs.

"Marcelona has been in turmoil in recent years, which is due to the lack of internal order and ethics of the club. So we are forced to make this fair decision that was initially only temporary, which is a measure that the club must take.

"This conflict even requires bodyguards to protect us and separate the players. This is the only time I have witnessed such an incident in my career. I am from the market and familiar with street fighting, but witnessing needs bodyguards to protect us.

"People around Rabiot spread false remarks, not targeting me but attacking Pablo Longoria and Benatia. I always treat people sincerely: when they describe the chairman as 'corruption', Pablo is defending the club.

"Rabiot talked to me a week later this morning. Benatia was originally close to him, far beyond football. Everyone around him knew that the club had helped Adrian deal with issues such as private life. His efforts exceeded the responsibilities of the sports director.

"So his mother's attack made me angry. This mother forgot two things: one is that I appointed him as the captain; the other is that during a year, I even paid more attention and care to her son than to my biological son. This decision is completely fair, and I always treat him with respect. But at the locker room and club management level, we know that we must stick to principles for the benefit of Marseille. Tomorrow we will have to play without Love and Rabiot, which is not easy. I could have pretended nothing happened, but I would never sacrifice dignity for the league results, and I would always support the club.

"Yes, they didn't break the other's teeth, but I've never seen such a fight: the team doctor tried to wake up the downed players, and Love and Rabiot were still fighting... The court needs to show what you said about blood, but it is definitely not for teammates. No one can be above the club. Other clubs also have strong players or coaches, but they must keep their duties through behavioral constraints. In the long run, this will benefit the team."
