A move”nightmarish“. Already affected by the conflict between Ali Zarrak, head of the Pro2, and Jean-Pierre Papin, his coach, the Olympian reserve experienced a complicated evening in Corte on Saturday. Beaten 2-0 during a meeting “which went well despite catastrophic refereeing“, says an Olympian source, the kids were also involved in a scuffle after the final whistle.
As those involved in the match headed towards the locker room, tempers heated up and Robinio Vaz, the young Olympian striker, was allegedly targeted by the Corsican players. According to witnesses present on site, Vaz shot a balloon towards a fence where Corte supporters were located, which set the scene on fire.
Several members of the Marseille staff, one of whom received a punch, intervened in the tunnel to protect the player who, like the entire Marseille delegation, was shocked by the events. Because according to an Olympian source, a “forty people, but not Corsican players“would then have entered the tunnel”as if the gates had opened and people had entered“.
Without the three Olympians who stood in the way, “we would have been taken down“, launches this same source which specifies that no player was hit. If tempers then calmed down, Robinio Vaz was, for his part, expelled by the referee of the match just like a Corte player. We will now have to wait several days to find out the duration of the suspension of the young striker, who arrived this summer from Sochaux.
