It seems that the friction is still relevant on the side of the Lille club, since Hatem Ben Arfa directly attacked its leaders by calling them “twisted” this Friday, through the “story” of his Instagram account.
“Are you talking about twisted? While you and your president are the most twisted”, dropped the LOSC player, referring to Olivier Létang, before adding: “Your problem is incompetence. #allezlelosc We are not playing relegation”.

Hatem Ben Arfa’s reaction comes after the decision of his current club, whose technician, Jocelyn Gouvernnec announced an hour before during a conference that they have “engaged a procedure which is in progress” against the player who was removed from the group this week, after having declared in particular: “There can be twisted blows. That’s not why you have to be.”
The club blames an “inappropriate attitude”
And for good reason, Losc criticized the footballer for “his inappropriate attitude inside the locker room”, after the regrettable draw which occurred against Bordeaux (0-0) last Saturday. In addition to attacking his Portuguese teammate Tiago Djalo, as reported by several media, Hatem Ben Arfa would not have had kind words either towards his coach, Jocelyn Gourvennec.
The latter also made it known during the press briefing which took place this afternoon at the Domaine du Luchin, “that in thirty-four years, he had never seen that in his entire career”, taking however the penalty not to mention the name of the attacking midfielder. Jocelyn Gourvennec regrets, however, the attitude of the concerned which “was difficult to understand because he had a lot of affection for him”.
It therefore seems that the 35-year-old is already on the way out after having spent only three short months in Lille and having only played nine games under the colors of LOSC.
