Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED: Moussa Diaby’s “Little Brother” interview!
Last week, the LFP disciplinary committee struck hard since it decided to suspend Medhi Benatia for three matches from the sidelines, the referees’ locker room and all official functions, and three other suspended matches after his comments on refereeing following the meeting between OL and OM.
In the process, Olympique de Marseille released a scathing press release and expressed its “strong disagreement with this decision“, which he found”totally disproportionate“in the same way as the treatment which had”is the subject of his sports advisor” SO “that he was not guilty of insulting or threatening the refereeing body“.
Aziz Mady Mogne summoned by the LFP disciplinary committee!
The commission, for its part, then explained the reasons for such a sanction: “The committee considers that the comments made by Mr. Benatia are, on the one hand, at half-time of the match, inappropriate, and, at the end of the match, hurtful. They tend to call into question the integrity of Mr. Bastien and in a diffuse manner the supposed treatment of his club, while Mr. Benatia embodies an important figure in OM. He therefore incurred his responsibility for having twice, during the same evening, violated the disciplinary regulations and the ethics charter, even if it is also necessary to take into account his disciplinary record free of any sanction.”
And clearly, OM has not finished with its troubles since L’Equipe informs us that Aziz Mady Mogne, the club’s sports coordinator, will also be summoned by the LFP disciplinary committee for vehement comments made to half-time of the match against Angers last Friday. To be continued.
To summarize
After Medhi Benatia, another manager of Olympique de Marseille will appear before the disciplinary committee. Last week, the LFP disciplinary committee struck hard since it decided to suspend Medhi Benatia for three matches from the sidelines, the referees’ locker room and all official functions, and three other suspended matches after his comments on refereeing following the meeting between OL and OM.
