In the video, anger takes Marseille fans out of the ordinary and tries to storm the club

All day Saturday, Olympique Marseille fans expressed their dissatisfaction with the results of their French League soccer team and set fire to the vicinity of the club’s training headquarters, trying to storm it to express their anger.

And the riots spread in the area surrounding the headquarters of the French club training and the setting off of fireworks, and clashes were recorded with security men in an attempt to forcefully storm the training center.

Fans set cars and trees on fire, torches, and injured team defender Alvaro Gonzalez.

L’Equipe quoted Gonzalez as saying: “This city is wonderful. We all love the club, but what we lived today should not be repeated.”

The soccer players and the coach tried to calm the angry crowd, to no avail.

The riots were condemned by club management, so Marseille’s match against Rennes in the 22nd round of the French League had to be postponed indefinitely.

“Several hundreds of ultras stormed the grounds of the training center. Despite the police intervention,” the club said in a statement posted on its website.

He continued: “The outbreak of unjustified violence put the lives of those present at risk, and thefts and damage to cars were committed, and five trees were burned for the sole purpose of destruction.”

In its statement, the club estimated the damage to the internal buildings at hundreds of thousands of euros.

Marseille lost 3 of the last 4 games to Monaco, Lance and Nimes in the French League, dropping the team to seventh place on the ranking list.

In addition, the French south team was defeated by the traditional rivals Paris Saint-Germain in the French Super Cup, which angered the fans and went out of their phase.
