The rage of Neymar on Twitter, the malice of the Portuguese coach of OM André Villas-Boas in front of the microphone: the victory (1-0) of Olympique de Marseille on Sunday evening at the Parc des Princes in front of Paris-SG , the very first since fall 2011, will have left a taste of ashes. The facts: a flurry of expulsions before (Parisian Laywin Kurzawa, Marseillais Jordan Amavi) and after (Neymar) consultation of the video arbitration, five reds in total and a Neymar who sends on Twitter: “Getting my assault from VAR is easy but now I want to see the image of the racist who calls me ‘Mono Hijo de Puta’ [«singe fils de pute» en espagnol, le reste du tweet étant en portugais, la langue natale du Brésilien, ce qui laisse penser à une citation, ndlr] (monkey motherfucker) I want to see! “
VAR catching my “aggression” is easy… now I want to see the image of the racist calling me “MONO HIJO DE PUTA” (monkey motherfucker)… that I want to see!
What’s up? REEL u punish me .. CASCUDO I am expelled … what about them? What’s up ?– Neymar Jr (@neymarjr) September 13, 2020
It is the Spanish defender of OM Alvaro Gonzalez who is targeted. Which Alvaro responded on his Twitter account, posting a photo taken at the foot of the return plane surrounded by several black OM players (Bouna Sarr, Steeve Mandanda, Pape Gueye…) and Japanese defender Yuto Nagatomo with the commentary following : “There is no place for racism. Clean career with lots of teammates and friends every day. Sometimes you have to learn to lose and assume on the pitch. ” Neymar replied to him in turn, confirming the insult: we left for a controversy with episodes, word against word, the nervousness of the Brazilian before his expulsion – he put a donut on Alvaro – suggesting that the star is fallen into the trap of provocation.
There is no place for racism. Clean race and with many colleagues and friends on a daily basis. Sometimes you have to learn to lose and take it on the field. Incredible 3 points today. Allez l’OM???? Thank you family⚪️Ⓜ️???????? pic.twitter.com/4DuUT1PT0x

Asked about it, Thomas Tuchel, the Parisian coach, was brief: “Neymar told me it was a racist insult. I didn’t hear anything on the ground. ” While waiting for the Brazilian’s teammates to be called to the bar in the event of an instruction (probable) from the disciplinary committee of the Professional League, Marseille nonetheless returned home with the three points, a consequence of great discipline tactics, the great game of his goalkeeper Mandanda and a certain success, which happens in football: “Football is the only ball sport where, after a performance like the one we had this evening, we can still lose”, Tuchel said.

His Marseille counterpart, he was doing a bit of fun in his corner: “There are two stories in the history of the Clasico between Paris-SG and OM, and one of these stories begins when Qatar redeems [en 2011] the club. They have dominated ten years since but they had to put in a billion and a half of investment. We targeted the set pieces [qui ont amené l’unique but du match, par Florian Thauvin] because Paris had small players, the objective being to shoot them at the far post […] We had a lot of emotions with the guys. ”
Then: “Neymar took a yellow right away [à la 11e minute, pour une altercation avec Payet] and he should have taken a second afterwards for an assault on Alvaro. The referee preferred to try to calm him down, to show diplomacy. I told the fourth referee [qui officie devant les bancs de touche] and he said ” no, we will do otherwise, we will stay quiet ”, and we see how the match ended with all these expulsions. I hope that what happened at the end of the match will not put black on this victory [une allusion à une possible suspension d’Alvaro si les insultes étaient avérées, ndlr]. I don’t think so because I know Alvaro is an experienced player. There is obviously no room for racism on a pitch and I don’t think that was the case during the match. We also have [l’attaquant parisien Angel] Di Maria who spat on one of our players: it’s a Clasico, things like that happen. “ It remains to be seen how far folklore has gone.
