And it is on RMC Sport that the president of Olympique de Marseille wanted to react. Pablo Longoria was scandalized by the situation and explained the club’s choice not to resume.
“We decided not to resume the game for the safety of our players. What happened today is completely unacceptable. We must make precedents for French football. The referee was with us, he confirmed to Jorge Sampaoli and me that safety was not guaranteed. His decision was to stop the match. The League has decided, for a matter of public order, to resume the match. This is not acceptable for us, that’s why we decided not to resume the match and to return to Marseille tonight.“
For his part, the president of OGC Nice, Jean-Pierre Rivère expressed his incomprehension at a press conference as to the choice of the Olympians not to resume the game.
