Matteo Guendouzi’s first coach has commented on his latest provocation.
The French midfielder has long been known for winding up rivals and fans, and hasn’t changed at Fenerbahce.
After playing in a win over Lyon that booked Fener a Champions League spot, Guendouzi went wild at the fans of his long-time rivals.
The incident caused a riot in the tunnel, but Mickaël Landreau isn’t surprised.
Guendouzi’s former coach calls him unbearable
The former Lorient coach said: “Since he was young, he’s been constantly provoking people.
“He’s unbearable to manage. Everyone’s had enough. He has talent, but at every club he’s been to, he’s only stayed a year, two years, no more.”
He added: “If he’s not a starter, he causes trouble in training with his own teammates.
“It’s a complicated situation on a personal level. For me, the fans are a different matter.”
Guendouzi had earlier tried to justify his crazy full-time reaction against OL.
Guendouzi explains wild Lyon scenes
He said: “You know, when you have 60,000 people insulting your family, your mother, your children, even before the match, and no one in the refereeing camp tells the stadium to be quiet…
“Because I know that in France, when this kind of thing happens, there comes a point where they talk to the fans and the match can be stopped.
“For 90 minutes, even longer with the warm-up, they insulted my family. It’s something that affects you.”
Guendouzi then explained a hand gesture he used which comes from a Marseille rapper.
He added: “If you want to tease, then it goes both ways. They insulted my mother and my family, which I found disrespectful.
“But if we can’t even celebrate the way we want, I think that’s a shame.
“Everyone knows I support OM, I’ve never hidden it. It’s just teasing, they insulted my family, but if we’re not allowed to do the Jul sign, where are we headed?
“I’ve seen matches where Lyon fans celebrate in front of the stands at the Vélodrome.
“It has to work both ways. For me, I have the right to celebrate. There’s nothing malicious about the Jul sign.”
