For Jean-Michel Aulas, OL boss, this decision was motivated by the virulent reaction of the Marseille locker room when the same Ruddy Buquet had initially announced the resumption of the meeting.
“
Given that the individual author of the gesture had been arrested, we imagined with the prefect that the match could resume and the referee made the decision to resume.
When he announced the resumption to the players, there was a very violent reaction from OM.
There was such a wave of violence and reaction that Mr Buquet asked to see the prefect again and reversed his decision
