Longoria's strong speech after the cancellation of OM – OL

The Marseille president, Pablo Longoria, appeared very upset after the very sad evening experienced on Sunday.

The Marseille – Lyon shock, which was to close the 11the day of Ligue 1, could not take place on Sunday evening. The fault lies with a “handful of unconscious people” who attacked the Lyon bus just in front of the entrance to the Vélodrome stadium. An incident which caused injuries to the Lyonnais and which therefore led to the cancellation of the match.

Longoria bangs his fist on the table

On the Lyon side, we were obviously furious at this scenario. But, in the OM camp, we also had difficulty letting go of anger. Pablo Longoria, the president, was for example extremely unhappy and angry with the “pseudo” supporters.

“What happened is completely unacceptable, this must not happen either in football or in society today. Unconscious people decided to spoil a party, a full stadium. I am angry, dismayed by the situation. This is unacceptable “, he said in a furious tone at the microphone of Amazon Prime.

Longoria also had a thought for Fabio Grosso. He knows the OL coach very well since the two men worked alongside each other at Juventus, when one was a scout and the other a youth team coach. The Spaniard must probably have been shocked by the extent of the damage and the serious injury the Italian suffered.
