In a complicated situation in Marseille, Alvaro Gonzalez did not appreciate the attitude of his management this winter. Pushed out, the Spanish defender believes he does not deserve such treatment.
Relations are fresh between Alvaro and OM
Just as I respect the club, I would have liked the club to respect me. No longer used by Jorge Sampaoli and pushed out by his leaders this winter, Alvaro Gonzalez does not digest. In an interview with the Spanish daily AS, the defender of Olympique de Marseille expressed his anger.
An indisputable starter at OM for two seasons, the 32-year-old has only played 10 games in all competitions since the start of the year, and only 5 minutes in 2022. I don’t know what I’m the victim of, assures the Spaniard. What I do know is that they extended me and from there problems of all kinds started.
A. Gonzalez – I gave everything for the club
I had to lower my salary on August 31 so that they could sign a player (Amine Harit) (…). I did everything so that everyone could be registered. From then on they started belittling me in incomprehensible ways as I gave my all for the club, I went through thick and thin regrets the native of Potes.
Today, Gonzalez thinks to himself bless to be treated in this way when he recalls having defended his team during the incidents which occurred in Nice last August or during the attack by the supporters at the Commanderie last season. I took a beating to defend my teammates. (…) And that’s how we are rewarded.
His refusal to leave in January
In his interview, the Olympian explains that he did not want to leave in winter because the teams interested were not ideal sportingly. We all know what the market looks like in January, the situations of the teams who want to take you are not ideal, they are struggling. It’s not the same as going to teams that are doing well, but those teams don’t need to change their roster.
The former Villarreal player therefore announced to his management that he wanted to wait until next summer, a longer market in which more options will present themselves . They (the Marseille leaders) told me that there would be no problem, that they were going to respect me, that I was part of the team and that if at some point I had to play, I was going to do it. To do says the Iber, who is present in the group every game but must be content to stay on the bench.
His life Marseilles
A situation that is all the more frustrating as Alvaro feels good in Marseille and believes that he is in the best shape of his life. Honestly, I spent the best two years of my career in Marseille, he says. I scored goals, we finished 2nd in the championship, we beat PSG, I played in the Champions League. I can’t complain about anything, I’m in a place where I’m very loved, even though now I don’t play anymore.
People show me their support from the street and I’m in a place where football is felt in a special way, it’s only here that the passion for OM is understood. The only thing is that I would like to take advantage of the fact that I am physically in the best moment of my career , regrets the Spaniard. Who is therefore living his last months in the Marseilles city.
