Dear @JacquesCardoze - I of course respect your position, which is to defend your club.
For the rest, look at Bernès or Barin's minutes, Eydelie's book, Juskowiak's or Wenger's statements... You love football as much as I do: what they did to him...

Cardoze speaks of "venom"
"When a journalist has no proof, he advances the argument of inner conviction and lets hatred and jealousy spread... Your venom is so visible," Cardoze said.
In this video, the comments made by Grégory Schneider are insulting and unworthy.
All this oozes contempt, hatred and the instinct of slander against the biggest club in France and its history #TeamOM
No offense… forever the first @OM_Officiel!
