"Ri-di-cu-les!"
"Everything is said with the front page of the newspaper La Provence this Monday morning, which adds that" OM have achieved the improbable feat of being eliminated by a National 2 team deprived of the championship since the end of October ".
The fans of Canet-en-Roussillon, 12th in their group of N2 (4th division) before the end of their championship, had only made 3 Coupe de France matches in recent weeks.
Some players are already at work on Monday like Jérémy Posteraro, author of the first goal from a free kick, and commercial.
But his awakening must certainly have been light, while on the side of OM, it was a hangover.
After the humiliation of the field, they were mocked on social networks.
❗️❗️❗️EXCLUSIVE INFO #jeremyposterao juninho is not a pastry chef.
He is commercial @ at @FluidraFrance and from time to time he gives free kicks😜⚽️ # viscacanet

On the inside page, Provence gives it a layer with its title “Cramés en Roussillon” and considers that “OM has experienced one of the most shameful eliminations in its history”.
The other Marseille daily La Marseillaise has a headline with an informative “OM hits rock bottom”.
The Team is headlined by: "The work of amateurs".

In the Catalan daily, the Independent, a photo of joy of the players completely covers the front page with the title "The exploit".
In a post entitled “Merci Canet”, journalist Arnaud Hingray writes that “in such an empty Brutus, the people of little, the little guys on the lower floor kept their promises.
Despite their three hairs on the chin, Diarra and his troop invited themselves with delight in the merry-go-round of the Coupe de France by making the old lady Olympian proud of her ten Cups of France fly through the nettles.
Decades of food shortages, escalated to frustration over time, have been swept away.
And all this in front of the OM monument.
Carquefou, Calais, Gueugnon… have found a worthy descendant ”
"We did shit and we will have to pay"
As for Marseille players, they are rare to have had the courage to come and speak, except for captain Boubacar Kamara at the microphone of Eurosport after the match.
" It's shame.
There are no words, we did some shit and we will have to pay.
Nothing was right, I don't even know what to say.
The result is fair.
We play against a N2, we are professionals, we must not lose.
This is a big mistake.
"
For his last game at the head of the pro team before returning to the training center and being replaced this Tuesday by Jorge Sampaoli, who will have finished his quarantine, the disappointment was sharp for Nasser Larguet: “We did no right to get kicked out like that.
We are OM, we have to show it on the pitch.
The Coupe spirit was not there.
It is as if we are playing against our reserve.
What happened requires everyone to question.

If the departure of President Jacques-Henri Eyraud and the visit of Frank McCourt had helped to pacify the climate with the supporters, Sampaoli finds himself facing a huge construction site after this humiliation.
