The meeting between Olympique Lyonnais and Paris Saint-Germain this Sunday evening took on a particular dimension with the scathing clash between John Textor and Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. As a reminder, an extract from a private meeting in Visio between Vincent Labrune and the club presidents. During this call, the Parisian president had violently apostrophe the Lyon leader: “John, John, John, John, John, stop talking. You don't understand anything. You just have I don't know where, Cowboy. And you tell us. Jean-Pierre, I come out of this call because he really will get angry, I swear to you, I waste my time, I leave the meeting, he does not understand anything, I swear to you ”. An acid response to the words of Textor previously made: “Nasser, you tyrannists everyone”. On Dazn After the meeting, Textor returned to his quarrel with Nak: “It is a simple request, that everyone is at the same level, especially with the rules. I do not only fight for OL, but for the French championship. We cannot have the same winner twenty years in a row»»
Even before kick -off, the spirits were already heating up. John Textor, to answer Nasser Al-Khelaïfi in a funny way, decided to arrive at the Groupama Stadium dressed in a cowboy hat on the head. A wink in the form of a tackle slipped to the Qatari president that the American has perfectly assumed in the mixed zone: “I had fun trying to take this lightly. You know, I'm not really a cowboy. It's strange, my French mother was very good on horseback before dying. I can't ride a horse. My nickname has always been Tex as it grows up, but I do not wear cowboy hats, except in Halloween. So, I just thought I would have fun with that. It was, yes, it was a fun message for Nasser. It was nothing more than that». However, the continuation of the mixed zone may have a hell of a impact this week on the planet of French football.
Everyone took it for their rank!
Before getting to the heart of the matter, John Textor was invited to react to Pablo Longoria cable fleeting on Saturday evening in Auxerre. The latter had criticized French arbitration, using strong words such as “corruption” and “shit championship”. For the American, such an influential president, a member of the Board of Directors of the LFP, should not make such remarks: “I'm not used to watching Marseille matches, so I don't know what happened. I think he is a member of the board of directors. I think it is very disappointing, when we really try to project the strength and quality of French football, that a member of the board of directors can make such a violent statement on the league, but on a difficult match. He is in the middle of all this. I'm sure he probably calmed down and regretted these comments. Everyone has the right to get upset from time to time. Corruption is a strong death. It's a really strong word. I fought against corruption in different fields of football, the manipulation of matches by counter-performance, that kind of thing“Said Textor. But the OL boss had several topics in mind to develop in the mixed zone.
In great shape, the president of the Eagle group continued his tirade by apostrophaling the members of the LFP board of directors: “I did not see the banners about Qatar perfectly. I saw a bunch of puppet strings, it should have been a football question tonight. I would have liked PSG to respect the fact that they have made a reserve against Thiago Amada, so just for you to keep accounts, it is a reserve deposited by Damien in Toulouse, by Pablo in Marseille, I think that There could have been another so they are the same, it is the directors handling the component on the board of directors who all coordinated. Everyone wonders if they are puppets. I think that these reservations come from the members of the board of directors, they should respect the decision of the league, they went to the legal committee, we followed the rules, it is in writing of the DNCG, we are authorized to do These loans, so the fact that they continue to deposit match reserves after match with the League. They already told them that we had followed the rules, it's just pure politics, it should have concerned football. Why do they put a reserve? I could file a reserve against the others, the players they bought with the money from Qatar in violation of European rules, but I do not do that, it should be organized at the League level, that should not enter In each of these matches, no one should constitute these reservations».
According to the boss of OL, the fact that the members of the board of directors are chosen without all the clubs being represented is a big problem for French football: “I think many of them are not part of the board of directors. I am not inside the board of directors. I think the Premier League model is a good model. The 20 clubs are part of the board of directors. It is impossible to guess what the board of directors does. So I feel alone outside the table. But 13, 12 or 11 other Ligue 1 owners too. I am not sure of the number that does not appear on the advice, but yes, we feel alone. Each club should have a performance on the board of directors. It is simply incredibly coordinated these reservations. We had what we believe to be inappropriate sanctions. And so these reservations, when it is the guys who are very close to the dominant part of the board of directors who deposit these reservations after the legal committee means that it is an internal war. It is a stupid inner war. Everyone should read the law of the European Commission, which talks about foreign subsidies and whether they are appropriate or not. They are illegal. They cannot perform in football». The fire of French football becomes more and more ardent.
