Between fans of Olympique de Marseille, the tone can quickly rise. Djibril Cissé and Marion Bartoli are proof of this. The former, a native of Arles who wore the colors of OM from 2006 to 2009, has always been a big fan of the Marseille club. Just like the ex-tennis player, winner of Wimbledon in 2013. The latter expressed her anger after the elimination of her favorite club in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France on Wednesday March 1 against a club of Ligue 2: Annecy.
Indeed, Igor Tudor’s men failed to gain the upper hand against the Savoyard formation and were eliminated on penalties after equalizing at the last second of regulation time. But the Phocaeans could have equalized well before if the star Alexis Sanchez had scored his penalty earlier in the match. And for Marion Bartoli, it does not pass. “It’s professional misconduct. It’s SHAMEFUL for us supporters. They laughed at us! Sanchez, he earns 300,000 balls a month, he can’t even take a penalty against an L2 goalkeeper!”she dropped, very uplifted, on the airwaves RMC after the defeat.

Marion Bartoli cropped for her exit on Alexis Sanchez
A statement that did not at all convince Étienne Didot, ex-footballer who played for Guingamp, Toulouse, or even Rennes. “I like Marion Bartoli, but she mustn’t overdo it on football… OM have no right to lose against a league 2. Sanchez can’t miss a penalty because he wins 300 000€, but that’s nonsense!!! Populist discourse!”, he lamented on Twitter. What also annoy Djibril Cissé. The former OM player retweeted the publication of Étienne Didot and did not fail to share the substance of his thoughts while addressing the former candidate of “Mask Singer” : “it’s amazing to talk like that. Have you ever lost to someone lower ranked than you?
It didn’t take long before the main interested party responded and tackled the ex-football player: “The football specialists from the Team channel are out. If I had to tweet all the nonsense you’ve been saying on set for so many years Djibril I know you’re Auxerrois at heart but you should still understand the disappointment of OM supporters!”. “Auxerrois of heart native of Arles. Supporter of OM always”he corrected before specifying: “I said the opposite? But your exit on Alexis Sanchez… Why talk about money??”.
Djibril Cissé tackles the former tennis player
Finally, Marion Bartoli admitted his wrongs. “The heart of a huge fan took over, I admit it. Mea culpa!”she admitted before regretting: “But from there to sharing and tweeting it sucks!”. The opportunity for Djibril Cissé to add a layer: “You don’t assume your words? You shouldn’t talk on the networks then huh”. After several tackles on Twitter, the former international of the France team still tried to calm the situation: “For your info, I’m as fan as you. I’m in as much pain as you. In short, OM will finish 2nd and the season will be successful”. Djibril Cissé also did not forget to wish a “best wishes” to Marion Bartoli. All’s well That ends well !
