Nice-OM: the Aiglons tackle the Marseillais in a press release – Top Mercato.com

The Niçois remained on their line of defense, through a press release. The OGCN accuses the OM players of having generated tensions and, indirectly, the invasion of the lawn.

On its website, the Nice club broke the silence concerning the incidents that occurred on Sunday evening: “By qualifying them as inadmissible by the voice of its president at a press conference as well as in front of the south stand, the OGC Nice had expressed last night, in consultation with its shareholder, its position on the bottle throws that occurred during the Derby. The pseudo-supporters who are guilty of it deserve heavy and targeted sanctions.

The Popular Sud association condemned them with the same firmness, via its representatives received this Monday by Jean-Pierre Rivère and Julien Fournier to shed light on the incidents.

Faced with the resurgence of projectile jets in many stadiums in France and abroad, OGC Nice recalls having long made the Allianz Riviera operating company aware of the need for protective nets to be installed. The club going so far as to exceed its status as a tenant of the stadium by committing to finance this laying of nets, in the face of the stagnation it had been facing for two years. The club intends to finally be heard, and that the work be started as soon as possible.

Regarding the invasion of the land, and after having retraced the chronology with supporting images, OGC Nice comes out strengthened in its judgment on the role played by the Marseille delegation. OM players, coach, staff, managers, and security personnel continued to make the evening worse. Where it is the actors’ responsibility to appease it, as the Aiglons and Christophe Galtier did.

No denial can resist the truth of the images. Because if, once again, nothing excuses the throwing of the bottle of which several isolated individuals are guilty, the fact remains that the tipping point is the irresponsible attitude of several members of the Marseille club. Starting with the unconsciousness of two senior OM players losing all control by targeting spectators at close range, then that of an assistant to Jorge Sampaoli crossing the field to attack and KO a supporter, who certainly did not have nothing to do in the field, but who is nonetheless still hospitalized. Before Justin Kluivert and Jean-Clair Todibo were attacked in their turn for free by a member of Marseille security. Without forgetting the provocations and slippages conducive to the excesses of several Marseille players from the 1st period. Facts that OGC Nice strongly condemns as they were decisive in the course of these deplorable events ”, posted the club des Aiglons on its website.

Note that on social networks, the war of images has started between the supporters of Nice and Marseille. The tension promises to be high, while waiting the meeting of the disciplinary committee which will take place on Wednesday. The date promises to be hot!
