This Tuesday evening in the OL Night Session show on OLTV, Vincent Ponsot, the general director of the Rhone club, pleaded in favor of an OM – OL match to be replayed on neutral ground. According to the Lyon leader, it is not possible to play the flagship match of the 11th day at the Vélodrome stadium, after the serious incidents of Sunday evening.
“We want the file to be processed,” he declared on OLTV. We will initiate a certain number of procedures and actions so that the file is processed. Today, the security conditions for playing in Marseille are not met. It would therefore be necessary to play on neutral ground. We want to replay the match, the players have nothing to do with it. Just like our players had nothing to do with it when the bottle was thrown at Groupama Stadium, even if they were sanctioned sportingly. »
Ponsot refers to the bottle which hit Marseillais Dimitri Payet in the head, while he was preparing to take a corner on November 22, 2021. “What we want is for the safety of our players to be guaranteed , continues the manager. They are there to play football and what we ask is that they do not take a concrete block on their heads. »
Injured in the face by a projectile on Sunday evening aboard the OL bus, coach Fabio Grosso, who received twelve stitches, is subject to total incapacity for work (ITT) for 30 days after his injuries. This, however, does not legally prohibit him from returning to work before this deadline. According to information provided by OL, the Italian was not able to perform the day’s training session, scheduled for 3 p.m., this Tuesday morning. The Bad Gones, a group of ultras from Lyon, had displayed a banner wishing their coach a “good recovery”.
