Tension was palpable at Le Havre on Sunday, as they were beaten 2-1 away to bottom-placed Clermont. Two HAC players, the Guinean Mohamed Bayo and the Ivorian Christopher Opéri, almost came to blows. They were calmed down by their captain, Senegalese Arouna Sanganté. The day after the altercation, Bayo apologized on his social networks.
"Obviously the tension you saw on the pitch is just the result of immense frustration. Chris is an indispensable element in our quest to stay up. That doesn't take away from the fact that we also need to keep control and manage our emotions, because we need to set an example for the younger generations. I'm the first to be disappointed with our collective situation, and believe me, my one and only aim is to perform better for this club, because it deserves it," writes the Syli striker.
