We are not a specialist in perfumery but it still does not smell very good for Hatem Ben Arfa at Losc. After the sad draw of Lille against Bordeaux at home on Saturday, the former terrible child of French football has indeed found himself at the heart of a case which could well spell the end of his (short) career in the North. .
According to The Teamthe former Parisian would have had a lively exchange with his teammate Tiago Djalo, before it “turned into an altercation” and one of Jocelyn Gourvennec’s assistants intervened to calm things down, in vain.
Ben Arfa, nine games before the closet?
It was then the turn of the Breton coach to come out of his office to try to reason with the two men, without much success there either. According to Téléfoot, Ben Arfa would have even had very harsh words against his coach, pushing the Lille management, which is to meet at the start of the week, to consider heavy sanctions against him.
Still according to our colleagues from The Team, he could no longer postpone the Losc jersey by the end of the season. If that were to happen, he would then have played in all and for all nine ends of matches since his arrival at the Mastiffs last January (seven in L1, two in C1). After two failed freelances, on the side of Valladolid and the Girondins de Bordeaux, Ben Arfa (35) is definitely experiencing a complicated end to his career.
