Nice-OM: Maracineanu believes that "a red line has been crossed in terms of violence" and calls for sanctions

an insult to football,

sanctions

culprits

This is obviously regrettable given the time we spent following matches without spectators, without sports lovers, without encouragement

Seeing that from the first football matches, it hurts, it's intolerable because the first of the conditions for a match to take place is obviously to ensure the safety of the people who are on the field, players, referees, coaches,

Still happy that the players defended themselves. In a match where we attack players and referees, it is normal that we react. Are we going to let the players be insulted, are we going to let people throw them full bottles of water? No, it is not possible

These incidents are an insult first of all for football, for sport in general and the supporters themselves

sanction

as it should be

There are the sanctions, the stadium bans. I am ready to reopen this file if necessary, if however we manage to identify the culprits in question,

I think there must be penalties for the club in question,

This is going to be one of the elements of the investigation.

If the players felt in danger (...) they did well to stay in the locker room and ensure that the match does not resume

Against this blatant aggression I reserve the right to lodge a complaint. However, I saw that the prosecution had already been seized today. I hope that justice will be able to continue its work calmly and that there will be criminal sanctions against those who will be designated as guilty and behind I expect sports bodies to take the necessary disciplinary sanctions so that it becomes exemplary. We fought for the public to come back to the stadiums, so that the matches no longer take place behind closed doors.

A red line has been crossed in terms of violence against players in the game. I am fighting against all hatred and incivility in the stadiums. Today, the League, the club managers, must be responsible and take the sanctions that are those of common sense, those in accordance with what is happening, what they see on the ground. It is unacceptable that our supporters throw objects, be violent, enter the stadiums. The clubs that host matches are responsible for the safety of the players, coaches and referees who are on the pitch first and foremost and for what happens in the stands in words and in deeds.
