Diouf had previously criticized the club’s recruitment decisions at the start of the season and voiced his opinions on the dismissal of coach Eli Baup. In a recent interview with Jeune Afrique, he reiterated his concerns about Marseille’s situation.
“This year we are the first former winners not to have scored any points in the group stage of the Champions League. In pétanque, we call it playing fanny! When a president says he wants OM to look like Borussia Dortmund, it makes me smile. Bernard Tapie didn’t say he wanted to be like AC Milan; he said he wanted to beat AC Milan. But what I deplore most today is the lack of passion,” Diouf remarked.
These comments add to the ongoing criticism from Diouf, raising questions about the club’s current leadership and the direction they are taking.
