Mourad Boudjellal does not take off. The president of Hyères FC spoke this Friday on the L’Équipe channel, on the eve of “receiving” Olympique de Marseille in the round of 32 in Martigues, when he had asked to play the match in Toulon: “It’s a bit of a shame that it doesn’t happen in Toulon, because we are in a department where football hasn’t seen major events for at least thirty years. We wanted to have a big football party in the ward with the stars of the OM, with the kids full of stars in their eyes… Unfortunately some hooligans decided otherwise. »
Under these conditions, the Var coach ironically believes that his club has no chance of achieving a result against OM: ” We’ll see you tomorrow (Saturday) depending on which team is playing and the size of the score. Is it possible that the Martigues billboard has at least three figures? You shouldn’t dream, it’s Olympique de Marseille. I would have preferred Olympique de Marseille at the time of (Jacques-Henry) Eyraud was even less brilliant. Even if they are doing well there, it will be complicated, they have been warned, they know they have made some missteps in the Coupe de France, they are fueling themselves in the Championship… We are not invited, we are here to party and maybe take some selfies if I agree. »
