If the meeting between RC Lens and OM was tense, on the pitch, the Marseille president, Pablo Longoria, had previously made a point of honoring the former president of Sang et Or, Gervais Martel. Nice.
OM once again proved last Saturday that they knew how to travel. By winning on the pitch of a serious candidate for the top of the table in Ligue 1: RC Lens. Victory acquired in the second half and with a score of 3-1. In the minutes which preceded this meeting, a very special tribute was sent by the Artesian club to Gervais Martel.
A jersey as a gift
The latter, who celebrated his 70th birthday, remains an emblematic figure of the RCL with his 30 years of presidency. It is therefore a guard of honor that has been reserved for him for his entry onto the field with many Lensois players. The Marseillais also wanted to greet the former Boss of Sang et Or. Thus, Pablo Longoria personally gave him the collector's jersey worn by his men for the 125th anniversary of the Marseille club.
A delicate attention. And friendly.
