The Boulogne-Billancourt club is very affected by the terrible aggression suffered by its former young licensee in Paris.


The images of his assault have been looping for several days on social networks.

On January 15, Yuriy, 15, who played football at the PUC then at the ACBB for several years, was the victim of a lynching on the slab of Beaugrenelle in Paris XVth.

Hospitalized in critical condition and victim of numerous fractures, the young man's state of health remains worrying to this day.

He has not regained the use of speech and he cannot walk.

This weekend, world champion Antoine Griezmann and Demba Ba, Istanbul striker Basaksehir, gave messages of support to Yuriy on their Twitter account.

"Force yourself Yuriy and get well," wrote the FC Barcelona striker.

"What a bunch of cowards, they make me want to throw up these people."

Courage to you Yuriy, ”said Demba Ba.

He discovered, this Monday, the avalanche of messages of support addressed to him.

Yuriy was, according to his mother, "very touched, with tears in his eyes" by the comforting words of the footballers.

Because the teenager has been passionate about football since his childhood.

After playing for one year at Fontenay-aux-Roses and then two years at PUC (Paris University Club), Yuriy signed a license last season at ACBB.

He had been spotted by the Boulogne-Billancourt club during a detection in the spring of 2019. He was a discreet boy who was playing as a midfielder with the U14 League.

Gifted, the teenager had even passed a test in Orleans, club pro, last year.

The feedback was positive but after the stoppage and then the end of the amateur championships, nothing had happened.

"We hope to see him soon at the stadium when he is better"

At the start of the school year, the young player had participated in several U15 training sessions in September before deciding to devote himself to a new sport.

"Yuriy is a respectful, polite and invested boy," suggests Julio Arqueros, president of the football section of the ACBB.

We are still in shock from this terrible assault of incredible and bestial violence.

The whole club is behind him.

We want him to recover quickly.

"

Very shocked by the news, his former teammates took the initiative to take several support photos.

On one of them, we see them forming a Y on the lawn of the Le Gallo stadium.

Autographed shirts and balloons were given to Yuriy's mom.

A video was even mentioned this weekend.

"We hope to see him soon at the stadium when he is better," said Julio Arqueros.

We will soon be doing a workshop on citizenship with young people and their parents.

We want to take advantage of this to make them think more generally about the problems of violence which do not abate on and off the field.

"

Side investigation, if no arrest has yet taken place, the police are still working on the track of rivalry between gangs.

Yuriy was carrying a screwdriver at the time of his beating, a source close to the investigation confirmed.
