“The absence of sanctions is unacceptable. Although I love playing in stadiums with heat and a wonderful atmosphere. It doesn’t scare me, I like it…”

Main victim of the stoning of the OL bus near the Vélodrome stadium in Marseille ahead of the Olympico on October 29, Fabio Grosso, seriously injured in the eye region, protested against the lack of sanction against OM so far, this Friday morning in the conference preceding the OL-Lille meeting on Sunday evening (8:45 p.m.).

“I do this job to go and play in stadiums with an incredible atmosphere like Marseille knows how to do inside its stadium,” he said. But for me, the absence of a particular sanction in relation to that day is unacceptable. We’ll see what happens and we’ll choose later when we know things well. »

The Italian coach insisted on the physical and psychological after-effects caused by last month’s attack: “I have strong shoulders even if you wouldn’t say it, and I have come back. Of course, it was a day that touched me a lot, really a lot. In the morning when I get up and go to clean my face and teeth, I look and the signs remain and unfortunately, they will stay. »

The Professional Football League (LFP) has rescheduled the match for December 6, in Marseille and with the public. Basically, the responsibility of the Marseille club in the incidents around its stadium was not held by the LFP. The Lyon club, however, appealed this decision. But, according to RMC, the FFF’s higher appeals commission ruled this appeal inadmissible this Friday.

“It bothers me a little, a little bit a lot,” Grosso said this Friday. For me, we have to make a decision, we have to do something. I stand firm on what I think and look forward to it. By continuing to work because I immediately returned to the field. I wanted to work hard because that’s how we can get out of our difficult situation. It’s a very, very serious thing not to have made a decision on this match yet. »

An OM supporter was sentenced Thursday to a four-month suspended prison sentence and a three-year stadium ban for throwing a projectile before the ultimately canceled match against Olympique Lyonnais. This young 22-year-old driver was, however, acquitted for the aggravated violence and damage to one of the ten Lyon supporters’ buses. He was not prosecuted for stoning the coach of the Lyon staff and players.
