French football club Nantes has expressed their shock at Nice fans who made derogatory chants about Emiliano Sala during a league game. Sala died after the single-engine Piper Malibu aircraft in which he was travelling crashed in the English Channel on January 21, 2019. (More Football News)
He was leaving Nantes, where he was hugely popular with fans, to join Cardiff in the English Premier League. 바카라Nantes learned with terror about the chants made by certain Nice fans and can only firmly condemn behaviour that degrades the memory of Emiliano Sala,바카라 Nantes said in a statement.
Nantes retired the No 9 as a tribute to Sala, who scored 48 goals in 133 appearances for the club. Nantes coach Antoine Kombouare also condemned those Nice fans who made mocking chants about him.
바카라Human stupidity has no limit. I'm outraged, these people have no place in a stadium,바카라 he said after French Cup winner Nantes had beaten Rennes 2-1 at home. 바카라They should be banned, it's a disgrace. I feel for his family.바카라
Nantes also thanked Nice coach Christophe Galtier, who expressed his outrage at the fans who chanted during the home game against Saint-Etienne on Wednesday. 바카라I have no adjectives to describe what I heard," he said, apologising in the name of the club.
바카라We would like to offer our apologies to the family of Emiliano Sala and Nantes.바카라 He said the fans in the Nice Kop who made those chants are not welcome back. 바카라We shouldn't be hearing that in a stadium. If they're coming to insult the dead, then they should stay home,바카라 Galtier said.
바카라People sometimes say that what we see inside a stadium is a reflection of society. If that's our society then it's really (expletive).바카라 The incident came a few days after Nice lost 1-0 to Nantes in the French Cup final at Stade de France on Saturday.
