Hit near the right eye by a projectile during the match at the Vélodrome between OM and Auxerre on Friday, Ambre Godillon denied the version provided by the Marseille club, which claims that it was not a voluntary jet .
Ambre Godillon and Olympique de Marseille, the controversy is taking on increasingly important proportions. Hit near the eye by a projectile during the match at the Vélodrome between OM and AJA on Friday evening, the DAZN journalist first received an apology from the Marseille club. But subsequently, the Marseille leaders gave the press a version according to which the journalist had not been the target of a deliberate projectile throw coming from the stands. According to the OM board, an object fell from a very high stand before bouncing off the tarpaulin of the players' entrance tunnel and ending up on Ambre Godillon's face.
The reality is completely different according to the former PSG TV journalist, who estimated on the Channel L'Equipe that the Marseille leaders' story was purely false and that it was indeed a projectile throw. voluntary on the part of a spectator of whom she was the target. “I just tell myself that there are definitely idiots in the stadiums and that they should have nothing to do there. But if I can take advantage of talking about it, for the past two days I have been experiencing a sort of reverse cyber-harassment wave. I have to admit that I received a lot of messages from the whole profession and I thought it was great” Ambre Godillon first explained, before continuing.
Ambre Godillon and OM have two different versions
“But on the contrary, the Marseille supporters, from the moment the club spread the idea that it was accidental… A priori I am supposed, according to all those who attack me, to apologize today today because it was accidental. I would like to point out that a throw is not accidental. The story of the tarpaulin, if we want to drown and tell the story-telling we want, of an object that bounces… The fact remains that I was between the two sidelines and the jet came between these two sidelines. And it wasn't by the Holy Spirit that he got there. The tarpaulin, I thank it for being there to slow down this object” regretted Ambre Godillon, who would now like the controversy to stop here so as not to stir up more hatred, she who will inevitably have to go to the Vélodrome again with DAZN in the months to come. The potential reaction from OM will nevertheless be to be watched, because the Marseille club is clearly accused of distorting or watering down the truth by the journalist.
