You liked the Persian Letters of Montesquieu, you will love the letters of Jean-Michel Aulas to parliamentarians. The boss of Olympique Lyonnais sent a third letter against the final cessation of the 2019-2020 Ligue 1 season for health reasons. Which earned him a good tackle from ... Noël Le Graët.
Aulas says again in excerpts reported by the newspaper website The Progress "have had confirmation from UEFA that the August 3 for the purposes of championships was only a recommendation and was not an official date nor a deadline ”.
Study health protocols
The Lyon leader, who stresses that "Aleksander Ceferin, the president of UEFA, considered that the decision in France not to authorize the resumption of the competition was premature", still asks to "postpone the final decision to stop the championship, as we do in other European countries, as well as the general assembly of the League which could endorse a resumption ”.
"I propose in particular to take the time to study the UEFA health protocol, the protocol of Germany or other nations which have already taken over, in order to review the position currently taken to avoid an unprecedented economic sinking" , he added.
Le Graët's soap
Sunday at the end of the day, the president of the French Federation, Noël Le Graët, criticized, in an interview on the Canal Football Club program, the attitude of Jean-Michel Aulas. "He defends the interest of his club with too much vigor sometimes, lately he has gone a little too far," he said.
At the time of the Ligue 1 shutdown, Lyon was 7th and deprived of European qualification by the championship but OL can still dispute the Europa League next season if they win the Coupe de la Ligue whose final match they have to play against PSG. The date of this match remains to be fixed, it could be early August, unless winning the Champions League to replay the C1. Lyon must play, probably in August, its eighth final return C1 against Juventus after winning the first leg (1-0).
