Antoine Kombouaré calls L1 players and coaches to strike to pass the championship to 22 clubs for the 2020-21 season. - FRED SCHEIBER / SIPA / ASSEMBLY 20 MINUTES

“If you're not 22, you don't start. Antoine Kombouaré wants to mobilize Ligue 1 players and coaches "to strike" in the face of "the deep injustice" experienced by the TFC and Amiens, relegated after the end of the championship linked to the pandemic of the new coronavirus. "When you come down because you haven't done the work sportingly, there is nothing to discuss," explains L'Equipe,  the former trainer from Strasbourg, Paris, Lens, Guingamp or Toulouse. But there, there remained 30 points to take and the regulations do not provide for a stop under these conditions. "

Kombouaré asked the players 'and coaches' unions, the UNFP and the UNECATEF, to "move" to move from Ligue 1 to 22 clubs, for one season. On the other hand, he does not ask for the resumption of the L1 like Jean-Michel Aulas, the president of the OL. "In an exceptional situation, exceptional measure", continues Kombouaré. Arguing that with the cessation of the League Cup, dates for these additional games can be found.

The Team stresses that Antoine Kombouaré's son is the administrative director of the Picard club and that he was the TFC coach during the season. Kombouaré assures him: “I would hold the same speech if it were Brest, Nîmes, Dijon, Metz or Saint-Etienne. "
