Summary
Daniel Riolo took aim at Marseille manager Bruno Genesio's media approach following the Classique loss at the Vélodrome on Sunday. The RMC Sport pundit accused Genesio of deflecting blame, saying his repeated insistence that others must share responsibility amounts to throwing his players under the bus by describing them as \"bicycles\" — a French colloquialism for weak players.\n\nGenesio acknowledged his part in the poor start but told reporters he refuses to accept \"honourable defeats,\" pointing to recurring mistakes. Marseille's financial constraints meant no summer signings and several departures, leaving them in a relegation battle after five matches. The club faces a three-week international break before attempting to climb from the bottom of the table.
