Recruited free by OM last season, Pape Gueye assures us that he could have signed in a team where he would have faced less substantial competition.
Considered a promising element at the time of his arrival at the ' OM in the summer of 2020 from Havre , Pape Gueye was also spoiled for choice. Pablo Longoria , newly appointed sporting director of the Marseille club at the time, had therefore pulled off a nice blow by attracting Gueye to the OM , especially since he was not alone at the time.
Gueye could have joined other clubs
“I came to OM. If I didn't want competition, I would have gone to a Ligue 1 club that promised to play every game. There was, says Gueye in an interview with Maritima. But I preferred to come here to fight against world-class players. When you play for a big club, you can't do 40 games in the season, it's impossible. If it is, the person next to you is going to be better than you. It's normal. I am the first to support those who play and those who do not. I can be on the bench, I will clap the hand of the person who took my place. It’s nothing like that. We are a team. He's tired, I'm going home, I'm going to give it to myself (sic). Everyone is fighting, everyone wants to play, and that's how we progress, that we have a solid group, ”says Gueye .
