This time it's over. Or almost. Because if the thirty-fourth and last day of Ligue 1 returned its various verdicts on Saturday evening, there is still a play-off game to play between the Stade de Reims and FC Metz to find out who will be the eighteenth club to compete in the elite of hexagonal football in 2025-2026. In the meantime, first balance sheets have already been drawn. Giovanni Castaldi delivered his and he did not go there with a dead hand.
A few minutes after the mad victory of Le Havre in Strasbourg (2-3), the journalist of the channel The team took the antenna with a new spicy editorial in which he did not hold back. If he took care to ensure that he already regretted that the season was finished, he nevertheless listed some big regrets. “The stadiums have never been so full. This proves that your passion for you, in love with football, is intact (…), despite the behavior of certain morons that are hidden behind their supposed fervor to gangrene our stages of violence. »»
A first charge followed by an even heavier second, this time targeting other managers. “If for some the stadiums still represent areas of lawlessness, it is because politicians and club presidents reject the fault so as not to assume their responsibilities in the face of this scourge. »» Obviously very angry, the former RTL continued to unzip his targets. “For politicians, it's a bit like with the Olympic Games: sport is good for making announcements, but when the time for action comes (…), there is no one left. »»
“Some sorely lack courage”
And to continue with club presidents. “Some are sorely lacking in courage in the face of part of their stands. Worse: some, to buy social peace, do not hesitate to accuse the whole land of all their ills.
'The media are against us, the media are corrupt and the DCNG is manipulated'. Of course. »» Then Giovanni Castaldi continued by widening a little: “We are not surprised when we see the calamitous management of TV rights. We realize that they act above all for them without thinking about the consequences. »»
Benjamin Castaldi's half-brother has finally added a last word against a particular player: “Thank you to the players for the show offered, thank you all except in Mostafa Mohamed. Wearing a rainbow armband is not promoting homosexuality is fighting homophobia that is an offense in France. »»
