During the reception of Troyes (4-1) Friday in Ligue 1, the supporters of Olympique Lyonnais deplored the green shoes worn by certain players because of the rivalry with AS Saint-Etienne. And for his part, the RMC radio consultant Jérôme Rothen also pinpointed the elements concerned.
“It’s a lack of tact, quite simply. When you set foot in a house like Olympique Lyonnais or like any club that may have rivalries, I think you have to find out. We have the list of players who made a mistake, because for me it’s a mistake. So Toko-Ekambi or Tetê, Reine-Adélade and Faivre… Ok, these are not trained at the club and can make mistakes. (.. .) Today, this message sent by most players is that it does not matter. The green color this or that is not serious. But where are we going? It is the drift of the new generation and they have to be reframed. For me, it’s forbidden. Forbidden! What shocks me more are the young people trained at Olympique Lyonnais like Lukeba, Gusto or Cherki. That’s how “We have the respect of a club. This is how you have the respect of the supporters and how you give them pleasure”, revealed the former Parisian.
