French midfielder star, Gouandous, is known for his fiery personality. Since his move from Arsenal to Marseille this summer, his passion remains undiminished. Just this Thursday (28), during a warm-up match between Marseille and Betis, Gouandous clashed with 41-year-old Zouakoun, and the scene was thrown into chaos, which forced the referee to end the match early.
In a game where the two teams had been locked in a stalemate, Gouandous' many ferocious tackles had displeased the Bedis players and even led to a verbal altercation. When the game went to the 87th minute, after Marseille scored, Gouandous made a 1-0 gesture to the Bedis bench to provoke, Zouakoun could not see, went to argue with him, Gouandous was constantly foul back. In stoppage time, when Bedis equalized, Zouakoun again clashed with Guandus, and both players then pushed and shoved each other, with Guandus claiming to have been pulled by his opponent's hair. The referee blew the whistle for the end of the match even though the extra time had not yet expired.
