“We are black, we are white, we are yellow, together we are ASSE. The Green Angels referred to the legendary French rock band Bérurier Noir with this banner deployed in the south kop of the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium, Sunday during Sainté-Bordeaux (4-1). This message was clearly in support of Denis Bouanga, who received eight days earlier a racist video on Snapchat, filmed in the room of the Magic Fans.
An episode since condemned by the Saint-Etienne club, which announced that it had seized the public prosecutor, but also by the Magic Fans, the main group of supporters of the Greens.
