The little war between John Textor and Nasser Al Khelaïfi is not over! A few weeks ago, the president of Paris Saint-Germain had attacked the president of Olympique Lyonnais by calling him “cow boy” during an exchange concerning TV rights. John Textor then presented himself dressed in a cowboy hat during the meeting which opposed OL to PSG on the lawn of Groupama Stadium.
This time, it was the boss of the Gones who sparked hostilities. Also president of the Brazilian club Botafogo, the American businessman is preparing to meet the way to the Parisian club in the club World Cup on June 20. Asked about this meeting, John Textor did not hesitate to tease the capital's club: ” We are going to play against a small team from Paris. »»
However, when he spoke of other Botafogo opponents, namely Atlético Madrid and Seattle Sounders, the American was complimentary to these two clubs: “We are going to play against a historic team from Atletico de Madrid as well as the Seattle Sounders. »»
John Textor in embarrassment
Pending the Club World Cup which will take place from June 14 to July 13, 2025, John Textor must still remain concentrated on OL, which experienced a hard blow on Saturday evening against the LOSC. Even if the Lyonnais won the meeting (2-1), they lost one of their elements, Ernest Nuamah, released on injury in the seventh minute.
The club announced in a statement on Monday morning that the player is a victim ” a rupture of the anterior cross ligament of the left knee. »» This injury ends the Ghanaian international season. While John Textor is obliged to sell players to bail out the club's funds this summer, Ernest Nuamah was one of those whom the Rhodanian president hoped to sell. This serious injury then compromises the plans of the American. OL thus needs to qualify in the Champions League more than ever.
