Lyon-OM: and now, in concrete terms, what are we doing? – season

That was to be expected. To celebrate the signing of Lionel Messi at PSG, he had gargled, congratulated in a press release, on this French success. He had become much more discreet a few days later, after the events of Nice-OM. After what happened in Lyon, it was too big, Vincent Labrune left his reserve to give the League position. A great interview in The team, when the LFP met “in emergency”, a few hours before a meeting Tuesday morning “with the ministers”. Not much is missing to bring out in video the haughty tone of “let us work” after a victory for OM. The title throws, “it’s time to overturn the table”, the photo bugdet was well spent, with a determined look on a plush decor, as if to better illustrate these places of power. Great. The interview starts strong, with a “shocked and furious” Labrune, who assures that the match should have been stopped immediately. We don’t compromise. Except that behind, when it comes to being a little concrete, we get lost …

Above all, do not insult the future

One would have thought that the president of the League was going to take his revenge with Jean-Michel Aulas, who had treated him six years ago as a puppet while an OM-Lyon. But the watchword is above all not to insult the future. Thus, the fury of the president of the League is directed quickly against all his people who have not followed the LFP since the start of the season who, she knew what was going on and who had launched the warning signals. No need to question themselves, they were right from the start! But the organization is in his eyes “only at the end of the chain” and serves as a “punching bag of the system” since they do not have the possibility of individually sanctioning troublemakers … suddenly asked Vincent Labrune how he intends to go about overturning the table, he evokes “a major national consultation on violence in the stadiums”. And why not bring together the cast of Cop26 to be sure that it will be just as useless?

The arms are waving but …

What is happening was therefore predictable, politically predictable. We wave our arms, it is the help of the one who will be the most scandalized. We take elements of common language, we invite those in charge “to take their responsibilities”. But above all, we do not name them directly. We should not put ourselves in an awkward position. The goal is still to keep this position as long as possible, so avoiding popular vindictiveness is good, but thinking about those who make the re-elections is better. With his experience of authorities, federations, Jean-Michel Aulas must curl his mustaches. For now, his team has been held behind closed doors as a precaution. But for the future? Will Lyon have a lost match on the green carpet, a real strong measure that could set a precedent and that would calm the limited in the stands? If we really want to overturn the table … These same people who are offended that we make supporters wait for two hours in a stadium to announce that the party is over will not hesitate here to take weeks to that the pill goes better. It’s just about not being fooled. To hope why not that the interests of the broadcaster, Amazon prime not to quote it, be aligned with those of OM to win the case. They are the money, they will be listened to. In the meantime, as long as there is no concrete …
