After the events that occurred around the Vélodrome stadium on Sunday, Brazilian international Jeffinho reacted on the web.
Fear seems to have spread to the ranks of Lyon this Sunday evening, following the stone crushing of the Olympique Lyonnais bus en route to the Vélodrome stadium.
An act which caused material and human damage: broken windows and twelve stitches for the Gones coach, Fabio Grosso, hit in the head. After this incident, the referee of the match, Mr. Letexier, canceled and postponed the match against Olympique de Marseille scheduled for the 10th day of Ligue 1.

A drama which the Rhone team, currently bottom of the championship, with 3 draws, 6 defeats and 3 points on the clock would have liked to have done without. For its part, OM should not be subject to any sporting sanctions. And for good reason, the attack having taken place on a public highway, its responsibility lies with the authorities in charge.
