On the side of the Premier League union, we now accuse the government of having taken the decision alone to stop Ligue 1 without waiting a little. Astonishing.
While Jean-Michel Aulas is desperately trying to restart the Ligue 1 season, and all of Europe is going to start again, perhaps even with the public, some colleagues of the President of Olympique Lyonnais realize that the situation is totally ubiquitous in France. But now the Premier League union, which brings together most of the professional clubs, points to Edouard Philippe and accuses the Prime Minister of having too quickly stopped the Championship, where other European governments have taken the time before deciding. At a press conference, Bernard Caïazzo and Gérard Lopez turned on Le Chu, who they accuse of endangering French football, without even having bothered to question the clubs.
The Prime Minister and the Minister of Sports took it for their rank. ” We are receiving a government decision that will slow us down even more today compared to other championships. We are all alone. We did something completely different from the others, and French football as a whole finds itself wronged. This result hurts me, and it hurts me beyond my club. If we ever wanted to know why we are late compared to other championships, this is one more reason “Said Gérard Lopez first. And Bernard Caïazzo, president of this union Premier League to go there of his anti-governmental coupler. “ How surprised we were to hear the Prime Minister say “the 2019-20 season cannot resume.” Has there been consultation with other countries? No. Has there been consultation with the major football clubs? No. I can say on behalf of the Premier League that there was no consultation with us. I just want to set the record straight, it is a total aberration to say that it is we who did not want to take back. No one scuttles, no one commits suicide, no one in football wanted to kill our economy and have 600 or 700 million shortfalls to supposedly protect a ranking “, Launched the head of AS Saint-Etienne. Once all that said, we await the response of Roxana Maracineanu who this time will not be able to attack the boss of OL, and Edouard Philippe, who has other cats to whip than Ligue 1. Well Obviously, none of the participants in this Premier League press conference, namely Bernard Caïazzo, Waldemar Kita and Gérard Lopez, went so far as to request a resumption of the season.
