Panic was caused on Wednesday night (4/10) in Marseilledue to widespread incidents among her followers Marseille and her Brighton!
The two teams face each other on Thursday afternoon (5/10, 19:45), for the AEK group in the Europa League. However, things have not started well at all, as was evident from what took place on the streets of the French city. Hand-to-hand combat, flares and manhuntwith the police intervening.
It is not yet known if there are any injuries or arrests. However, according to information, the Authorities surrounded Brighton’s friends (around 3000 were expected in France for the game) and somewhere there the danger stopped, possibly protecting them from the counterparts of the Marseille team. And this is because, as can be seen from the related video, the first ones were closed in a shop, with the people in charge lowering the blinds.
It is recalled that last Monday (25/9) the organized fans of Marseille had a meeting with the Chief of Police of Bouches-du-Rhône (whose capital is Marseille). Among the main topics of discussion were: home European matches of Marseilles and specifically the behavior of their followers in them. There they also filed a request for a… less restrictive framework in the match with “Union” in the “Velodrome” on October 26, so that they can welcome as they wish their organized fans, with whom they are fraternized.
And all this, in a period where episodes before European matches are a generalized phenomenon.
Besides, there was great danger in Florence also in view of him Fiorentina-Ferentsvaroswith away fans roaming the city… looking for those of the Italian team.
