Olympique Lyonnais would indeed have considered boycotting their match against OM, rescheduled for this Wednesday evening.
It’s a decision that won’t work. Following the serious incidents that occurred on the sidelines of the Olympico between OM and OL on October 29, including the stone-throwing of the Lyon bus, the LFP did not take any sanctions against the Marseille club. From then on, the match will be replayed this Wednesday evening at the VĂ©lodrome stadium. A decision which did not pass among the residents of Groupama Stadium, who seriously considered boycotting this meeting, revealed this Tuesday RMC Sport.
“Driven by a great feeling of injustice”OL studied the possibility of boycotting this Olympico, but “after long hours of collective reflection, the club finally returned to this idea”, again according to the sports media. “We really thought about striking a big blow,” explained a source close to the club to RMC Sport. We said to ourselves, ‘no one takes responsibility for what happened. We must mark the occasion.’ »
“In another sporting context, it would have happened differently”
If the Lyon leaders finally reversed course, this is only linked to “sporting considerations. When we look at the rankings, we cannot afford to lose on the green carpet. If Lyon had been at the top of the table, in another sporting context, things would have happened differently”added this same source, and concluded: “no one really wants to” to go to Marseille. It has the merit of being clear.
