It's a miracle there was no death
Vincent Labrune on the incidents at the end of the recent ASSE-Auxerre
Labrune thus evoked the incidents during the last match of the accession barrage between Saint-Étienne and Auxerre at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard, where smoke bombs were fired horizontally towards a grandstand.
"
I was scared by what happened
," he said
.
It's a miracle there was no death.
I don't want to experience a death in a stadium as president
."
In front of Noël Le Graët, the president of the FFF, Labrune called for "
the responsibility of all
".
“
You have to be brave and put these criminals where they belong, not in stadiums
,” he concluded.
During his closing press conference, Le Graët agreed.
"
We have regular meetings in common," said the former president of the LFP.
We will try to find strong arguments so that it does not happen again.
We tried everything: closing the stands, suspending the club, deducting points.
We have to be even more vigilant
”.
Le Graët wishes “
that we can identify those who trouble our championship.
And it's easy today with the technical means.
That's a shame!
We have a better show on the pitch and a bad show in the stands.
It is sometimes 20 or 30 people, not more
”.
"
Our disciplinary arsenal is sufficient
," said Le Graët.
