On the sidelines of the Coupe de France final, two teenagers from the Greens suffered a violent hazing, according to echoes reported by The team.

This is the kind of publicity that Roland Romeyer and Bernard Caïazzo would have done well without. Forgotten the spotlight of the final of the Coupe de France, place now to a dark matter internally.

Posted in front of the match, the apprentice footballers of the ASSE training center could not hide their disappointment for their elders (1-0 defeat against Paris). The show internally was not much better. Some newcomers have been hazed.

So far, nothing unusual in a football club. We get on the table, we sing a city song, we hit the poster, but nothing serious in itself. Except that here, the word hazing has taken on a whole new meaning.

Thus, two teenagers would have received a shower of beatings by other residents of the center. Without being hospitalized, the two young boys presented concussions as well as several bruises on the body.

The two victims initially preferred to remain silent, before confiding in their educators at the beginning of the week. An internal investigation was immediately launched by the Saint-Etienne leaders, making it possible to identify the three culprits, not all of them major.

For the moment, the three attackers have been laid off as a precaution according to the team. They risk being excluded from the training center, and even a breach of contract for serious misconduct for players with an aspiring contract. The club also filed a complaint against X.
