While OM and PAOK supporters clashed in the city and then in the stadium. The coach of the Greek club, Răzvan Lucescu, gave us a mind-blowing press conference.
This Thursday evening was the return of Olympique de Marseille to the European scene. For this quarter-final first leg of the Conference League, the Marseillais welcomed PAOK Salonika with the hope of making the difference from the start. But, already, before this meeting, the supporters of the two camps had clashed in the street.
In the stadium, it was also hot with a jet of smoke on one side and a jet of seats on the other. Finally, at the final whistle (2-1 for OM), the tension did not seem to have subsided and the two benches had even railed against each other. The first to appear before the media was the coach of the Greek club, Răzvan Lucescu. He was very, very far from happy.
” You better come without your fans »
” I hope you will be received as you have received us. I hope you will be welcomed as we have been. I’m disappointed with what I saw. For football this is not acceptable. We have a lot of violence outside and we don’t need to have it in football. It does not give a good image of Marseille “, he answered the question of a French colleague.
He also added, in the language of Shakespeare, outside the microphones, leaving the room: “ you better come without your supporters “. Lunar. Invited to respond to this, Jorge Sampaoli kicked in touch: “ it’ll be hard. He is an opponent still alive despite the match where he suffered. I think that the public will push them, it will be necessary to cool this atmosphere as quickly as possible “. The return will be explosive.
