At the end of his contract with Olympique Lyonnais, Houssem Aouar is going through complicated times within his training club. Complementary player in the spirit of Laurent Blanc, the 24-year-old midfielder was also taken in dislike by a good number of OL supporters.
The former French international (a selection in October 2020 against Ukraine, 7-1) was also targeted by racist insults on social networks, after having formalized on March 16 his choice to now wear the colors of Algeria .
A message beyond the Aouar case
The Rhone club posted a message on Tweeter to support its player, but not only. “OL supports Houssem Aouar as well as all victims of racism and discriminatory acts because of their origins or life choices, and condemns hatred. Football is universal! »
The problem is that stupidity is too.
