Following Marseille’s victory against Lorient, a notable incident occurred with the late-game red card for André Ayew. Marseille’s coach, Elie Baup, responded to the situation:
“I came home with Christian Gourcuff, I saw that a red had been given to André Ayew, but I couldn’t tell you what happened. It’s annoying, yes. We are in the fight all the time, we are in combativeness. There is a season to finish, we will need all our strength. We must hope that the injuries are short-lived.
I don’t know if she’s reaching out to us; we’re trying to preserve this place on the podium. When you start on the podium from the start, everyone wants to make you fall. We are fighting to stay there. There are still 12 points at stake, that’s a lot.”
Baup expresses concern about the red card affecting Ayew’s availability for upcoming matches and emphasizes the team’s determination to maintain their position on the podium in the ongoing competition. He acknowledges the challenges of staying competitive throughout the season and stresses the importance of resilience and strength in the remaining matches
