The anger of Kombouaré after the song of the Nice supporters on the death of Sala
After Nantes’ success against Rennes (2-1), Antoine Kombouaré expressed his disgust after the chanting of some Nice supporters on the death of Emiliano Sala: « Human bullshit has no limits, I am outraged. I don’t know what to say because I would risk being very violent. These guys don’t give a damn in a stadium. We would have that as supporters (in Nantes), they should be banned. These are people who don’t should no longer have their place in a stadium. It’s shameful. Our Emiliano is gone. I feel sorry for Emiliano’s family. I knew that sometimes the supporters could be violent, could be idiots, but these are really asses. There are no words to describe the bullshit of these people. »
