Director of communication for OM, Jacques Cardoze gave a layer on the sanctions imposed by the Disciplinary Commission of the LFP following the incidents in Nice.

The verdict is finally in. Indeed, after several weeks of waiting, the Disciplinary Commission of the LFP met on Wednesday evening to decide on the sanctions to be imposed on the actors of the meeting opposing theOGC Nice to theOM which had been interrupted in the 75th minute after the invasion of the field. To begin with, the Aiglons were sentenced to three games behind closed doors as well as a withdrawal of two points, one of which was suspended. Marseillais side, Alvaro Gonzalez and Dimitri Payet are suspended for two firm matches and one suspended respectively. Sanctions that do not suit theOM as Jacques Cardoze explains.

“It shocks me a lot, because there is no example for French football”

” It is a political decision, half-hearted, and a decision which in my opinion does not live up to the exemplary nature that it should have given to French football. We saw Nazi salutes in this stand, we saw 150 people invade the field, 74 projectiles sent in 74 minutes, and finally we focused on what happened in the 75th minute by sanctioning Dimitri Payet and Alvaro, seen as troublemakers in a way. It’s forgetting what happened during the 74 minutes before that, and that shocks me a lot, because there is no exemplary nature for French football. Three suspension matches (behind closed doors at the Allianz Riviera, editor’s note) including one already served, another which is Nice-OM and which will not be replayed in Nice anyway: finally there is only one game left to behind closed doors for OGC Nice, and that shocks me, once again. It was an opportunity to say stop to violence, to say ‘it is not possible’, and I have the impression that violence is trivialized. I was talking about it with Dimitri Payet yesterday, he received 25 bottles during the match. What man can take this without any reaction? “, Asks the director of communication of theOM at the microphone of BFM.
