OL may cry scandal, but Olympico will play well in a packed Vélodrome on December 6.
While the Lyonnais are indignant at the inertia of the LFP, which decided not to sanction OM, for lack of legitimate legal recourse, after the deplorable incidents of last October 29 and the cancellation of Olympico on the appalling attack on the Gones bus, the Minister of Sports put the dots on the i’s this Friday on the sidelines of the presentation of the Paralympic Games flame route in Paris.
“ This is the least bad option », Judged Amélie Oudéa-Castéra two days after the verdict of the Disciplinary Commission of the Professional Football League, which declared itself incompetent to rule on events observed outside the Marseille stadium, thus allowing the Competitions Commission to validate a rescheduling of the match at the Vélodrome, in public, on December 6.
Zero tolerance now
“ When there is a ban on the movement of supporters, as will be the case on December 6, it is the defeat of division. The sanction that is being imagined today is probably the least bad of the remaining options. “, breathes the government representative, who announces a reinforced system by the police chief of Bouches-du-Rhône ” paying attention to each detail and optimizing what may have gone wrong “.
And the minister nevertheless concluded: “ If there was the slightest excess on the part of Marseille supporters during this new meeting, we would really have to draw extremely firm consequences. “For their part, the Lyon leaders are sticking to their positions, speaking of a decision” inaudible » of the LFP through the voice of football director Vincent Ponsot and declaring “ deeply shocked “. OL does not exclude new appeals elsewhere.
