The crisis deepens at Olympique de Marseille, one of the important teams in world football, following consecutive poor results.
RISKING EUROPEAN COMPETITIONS
The team, which has performed well below expectations this season and currently sits in seventh place in the league, is on the verge of losing its chance to qualify for European competitions.
MAJOR CRISIS IN MARSEILLE
Following the poor run of form, the club's American owner Frank McCourt has decided to keep all players at the club's training facility until the next league match. It was stated that any player leaving the facility would face severe sanctions.
''LOCKS PLAYERS IN FACILITY''
This unusual practice has caused a stir in the sports community. The French press headlined McCourt's decision as "The president locked the players in the facility."
NANTES DEFEAT WAS THE LAST STRAW
According to reports, the reason for this strict measure was the heavy 3-0 defeat to relegation-threatened Nantes last weekend. Marseille has managed only one win in its last five league matches, failing to close the gap with the top teams.
