It was in 2017. Anthony Mounier had been loaned to ASSE (Association Sportive de Saint-Etienne) by his club, Bologna, for six months with an option to buy. A transfer that ultimately did not last. Indeed, the charming brown now 34 years old has not played any match in the green jersey! He only completed one day of training before finally leaving town to return to Italy. Extremely rare fact in football professional ! But then, what happened?
Remember first that the lover of Anne-Sophie was trained at Olympique Lyonnais, historical rival of Saint-Etienne. First black point, not necessarily prohibitive. Except that the Saint-Etienne supporters have not forgotten the day when Anthony Mounier scored a goal against ASSE in the colors of Nice in 2012. “We fuck the greens, we fuck them!“, he had let go. Finally, three years later, in an interview, the footballer had made harsh remarks towards the club. Facts which make him ultimately undesirable.
ASSE supporters demonstrated visceral hostility against the new recruit. In addition to the icy welcome from some teammates, the footballer had to face banners unrolled in front of the training center with the inscription “Mounier, our colors will never be yours“. Insulting songs and other threats also played into the balance. And when he had asked to exchange with the supporters for the purpose of appeasement, he had been faced with a refusal.
After the threats, direction Greece!
Finally, Anthony Mounier was a victim heavy threats, including deathand placed under the protection of the gendarmerie for several days. “A guy told the president that he was married, with children, but that it wouldn’t worry him, if he met me, to dismantle me and he was ready to do five or six months in prisonno problem !“, he had declared to The Team. Unfavorable conditions for a suite on site. It was then that this transfer was finally canceled and Anthony Mounier packed up.
Today, it is under the Greek sun that he evolves – at GS Kallithéa – while the beautiful Anne-Sophie lives her adventure in the Philippines! On the spot, the pretty blonde said nothing about her companion’s job, thus avoiding being “victim of prejudice“.
