Mehdi Benatia before the disciplinary committee of the French League

The disciplinary committee of the French League has summoned former Moroccan international Mehdi Benatia, sports advisor to Olympique de Marseille, to appear before it.

According to what was reported by the French website “Foot Mercato”, this summons comes after the fiery statements made by the sports advisor of Olympique de Marseille after the match of the southern French team against Olympique de Lyon, yesterday Sunday, in the French League.

Benatia said after the match: “The matter is serious. What happened is very serious. I am not surprised when I learned in the middle of the week that referee Benio Sebastian will referee the match.” “The feeling was not good. There is a past. Let’s look at the photos.”

He added: “I’m not the type to cry after matches, but it did happen last week, but not with the referee himself. You can’t tell me he had a good match, you can’t say that to the Marseille fans. “The referee has to be sure of what he’s doing in an important match like this.”

Although Marseille won the match three goals to two, Benatia became angry with the referee, prompting the French League’s disciplinary committee to summon him before them after his fiery statements.
