The 11th round of Ligue 1 takes place this weekend, Lille fans will be banned from traveling to Marseille to cheer on the team due to security concerns, which forced the cancellation of the match between Marseille and Lyon last week.

Previously, Lyon’s bus was stoned and injured coach Fabio Grosso. The image of the 2006 World Cup champion with the Italian team with his face covered in blood appeared on the front page of the sports newspaper L’Equipe, accompanied by the headline “Disgusting and shameful.”
During the press conference, Coach Grosso shared with the press: “A sad Sunday for sports. You cannot put people’s lives in danger during matches.”
“I’m not the most important person here, there were 40 people in the car and the fan buses were also targeted. But I wasn’t there to tell you about the whole thing. “
Coach Grosso was able to return to the field after the incident last weekend.
Although the Lyon coach still feels that his health is not good, he is eager to return to the field after this incident: “I wish that my face was not shared around the world and I wish that there was no face. Everyone has the same problem as me. That should never happen.”
“We passed a place where there were a lot of stones on the sidewalk because of the construction going on and that’s not normal. Banning fans from the stadium won’t solve the problem. They have to have a way.” project for improving security.”
