Dimitri Liénard, former Racing player and now a consultant for Club 1906, expressed his deep sadness and disgust at the incidents at the Meinau in the last game. Liénard, who wore the Strasbourg jersey 331 times in 10 years, strongly denounced the banners deployed by a minority of supporters, considering that they cast a negative and false image of the club. He particularly regretted the attack on the team’s family, including the president and captain, and said he was unable to understand how such acts could be accepted. Liénard stressed the historical importance of the Strasbourg public, always present to support the team, and deplores the current situation that tarnishes this image.

Liénard insisted that this minority of supporters is responsible for the deterioration of the atmosphere at the Meinau. He stressed that the right to criticism is legitimate, but that respect and loyalty to the team must prevail. He recalled that the club has always put the public forward and that the players give themselves to the full, citing the example of Emanuel Emegha and the situation management regarding Alexander Djiku. Liénard expressed his disappointment at the way the club is currently perceived, calling the incidents of “clowns” and “asses”.

In conclusion, Dimitri Liénard called for reason and solidarity. He urged supporters to support players as long as they respect the club’s values, and not let a minority spoil the image of Strasbourg. He stressed that it is for this passion and support that they want to play the Meinau, and that it is essential to preserve this heritage. He expressed his sadness for today’s players, who give themselves all the time despite this difficult atmosphere.
