OM-OL: Longoria condemns, arrests in Marseille

The cancellation of the match on the 10th day of L1 between Marseille and Lyon this Sunday does not fail to upset OM president Pablo Longoria.

“ It is unacceptable. I tell you this sincerely. We must prevent what happened to Fabio Grosso, the coach of Olympique Lyonnais, it is completely unacceptable. This is something that can no longer happen, now in football, thunders the Marseille boss on Prime Video. (…) Only unconscious people… Only unconscious people. Ruining a party, with the stadium full, with 65,000 spectators, to act unconscious. Even if it is outside the stadium, it is unacceptable. »

Recently confronted with the discontent of Marseille supporters – now calmed – Pablo Longoria insists: “ I’m angry, I’m really appalled by the current situation. Especially because it has no place in football or in society. Afterwards, we came here to play football, you find yourself with all this type of situation, outside the stadium: it’s completely unacceptable! »

The Bouches-du-RhĂ´ne Police Prefecture reports that seven arrests took place this Sunday evening near the VĂ©lodrome stadium, including two for stone-throwing.
