The disciplinary committee of the Professional Football League made its verdict concerning Pablo Longoria this Wednesday. The president of Olympique de Marseille received 15 suspension games, sanctioning his accusations of “corruption” aimed at the arbitration after the heavy defeat of the Phocaeans on the lawn of Auxerre (0-3) last Saturday.
The Spanish leader had not mince his words: “Everything was planned, organized, from the yellow box of Balerdi against Angers. It's a shit championship, if the superligue comes to see us, we go right away. It is corruption, real corruption ”, Had he launched in the corridors of Father-Deschamps.
“Perhaps we lack perspective”
In full turmoil, Longoria can nevertheless count on the support of Renaud Muselier. The president of the southern region sought to contextualize this gap, calling for more indulgence towards the boss of the sky and white.
“I support him. I called it, we exchanged SMS. I said to him: 'Courage, my friend'. He did bullshit, he knows. It is a very difficult moment for him, he farted a lead, he is passionate, he ignited himself. Once it is said, is everything that happened against OM is completely normal? We may miss back, but we have a very strong feeling of injustice ”, underlined the politician.
