“This story had repercussions at OM and on its transfer window”
And on the occasion of the podcast Bandwidth, Alexandre Jacquinsaid more about how theOM and Pablo Longoria welcomed the rumor Ronaldo. ” This story had repercussions at OM and on its transfer window. It’s harder to work when there are rumors like that. At first, when it was just a delirium, it rather made them laugh. It wasn’t mean. The problem is when the days have passed, the rumor has grown and the last two said they had information, it’s difficult for OM to work on the transfer window Because that when we say Cristiano Ronaldo at OM, it means that the club has unlimited money and means. Or, it’s not. OM tried to build a sportingly coherent project with limited, but not zero, means. Pablo Longoria sells players and part with several big salaries to pay players who have already arrived like Alexis Sanchez for example. We do not free up the payroll by separating from Milik to take Cristiano Ronaldo “, explains the journalist of Provence.
“Pablo Longoria said he was sad and disappointed”
Moreover, the soap opera Ronaldo was in full swing when theOM a recruit Eric Bailly. And Pablo Longoria was very frustrated to see that while the club was making a nice move in the transfer window, everyone was only talking about Cristiano Ronaldo. ” So at first it made them smile, then gradually, over the days, especially during Bailly’s transfer, it was no longer the case. Because Eric Bailly is a good player, an executive of the Ivorian selection who comes to OM to revive himself, and finally, in the media when he arrived, we only talk about Cristiano Ronaldo. And at the end, Pablo Longoria said he was sad and disappointed. It was a bit of a blow for a day or two. Before the denials, it is inexplicable that we do not understand. He said he was a little disillusioned to say to himself “we worked like crazy, we did a transfer window that looks like something, we strengthened the team, we do what is necessary, and we are only talking about Ronaldo”. And that, it is true that it was difficult to admit », adds Alexandre Jacquin.
