The weary voice, Jean-Michel Aulas presented himself to the media on Friday after the incidents which led to the stoppage of the 32nd round of the Coupe de France match between Paris FC and Olympique Lyonnais. The president, already suspended for five games by the disciplinary committee of the League after the incidents at OL-OM, had a very bad experience of the new excesses that occurred at the Charlety Stadium.
“It’s dramatic for football. Tonight (Friday) we saw more unacceptable things”, first lamented Jean-Michel Aulas. “I do not yet know exactly what happened. I believe that the responsibilities are shared. It is not all to blame our supporters”. And the president of the Rhone club then embarked on a plea in which he explained that “600 supporters in a stadium which is not well configured, it can give this kind of outburst. It was enough for the break that people come to the Lyon parking lot and that caused that”.
A questionable argument and more than contested by his Paris FC counterpart, Pierre Ferraci, who said to himself “disillusioned and angrye “at RMC’s microphone.”there is a bunch of morons who ruined everything, and it is the Lyon supporters. I suppose OL have already prepared a standing version as they know how to do. (…) Aulas will have to calm his fanatics “.

Faced with the spreading fire, Jean-Michel Aulas still expressed his intention to clean up the groups of supporters of his club: “on will take extremely severe measures against all the people who are going to be identified. We know those who were to come on this trip “ he said at a press conference. “Others are in the Paris region and for which we do not have the identities. We are filing a complaint to show that our will is to sanction those who deserve it but also to find the responsibility for what it is. ‘happened”.
But “JMA”, whatever happens, will have a hard time defending the interests of OL, which will certainly have to drag the actions of a certain mud of its supporters like a ball. The disciplinary committee of the FFF should meet urgently at the beginning of the week to rule on the fate of this 32nd final and the recidivism factor does not plead in favor of Lyon at all. The possibility of giving a lost match on the green carpet being provided for in the texts, an administrative elimination is quite possible, in addition to other possible sanctions (fine, ban on travel …).
“Shared responsibilities …”
“We will take extremely severe measures …”
“We’re going to clean up …”
“The first throws of firecrackers at Lyon supporters were not made between Lyonnais.”
