Bahebeck Apologizes After Confrontation with Valenciennes Fans
The tense atmosphere at Valenciennes’ Hainaut stadium on Sunday night took a dramatic turn after the club’s heavy 6-2 defeat to Nantes, which effectively sealed their relegation fate. Following the disappointing result, a group of frustrated supporters gathered outside the stadium to voice their anger at the team.
Among the players targeted was Jean-Christophe Bahebeck, the striker on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, who had scored for Valenciennes in the loss. In the heat of the moment, Bahebeck became embroiled in a confrontation with one fan, who criticized him harshly. Annoyed by the verbal attack, the 20-year-old Franco-Cameroonian lashed out, calling the supporter “a piece of asshole.”
The incident quickly drew criticism, and Bahebeck took to social media to apologize for his outburst. On Twitter, he wrote: “Hi, I’m posting this little message to apologize to the Valenciennes supporters. I should never have responded like this, and I apologize again because it can show a negative image of the club, myself, and football in general. Especially since we don’t need this given our situation at the moment. Again, my apologies and we still need you. Don’t give up on us, thank you.”
With only four matches left in the season, Valenciennes remain six points adrift of safety, and the club’s end-of-season prospects are looking increasingly bleak. The situation at the club is becoming more tense by the day, both on and off the pitch.
