Former Marseille player Florian Thauvinwho now plays for the Mexican Tigres UANL”, Spoke of the psychological problems he faced playing for the club.
I was under tremendous pressure. When you are at Marseille they expect serious results from you, they put pressure on you mass media and fans. It’s a huge emotional fluctuation. When you play well in a round, you are the best player in the world and next week you shouldn’t even be allowed on the pitch. I struggled with this kind of thing for years and at some point I lost interest. I had a consultation with a psychologist. For a while I was depressed because I was desperate. That’s how it starts.
