Football in Villers-Saint-Paul. “They played a suspended player with the license of my little brother”

“How do you want young people to behave, when adults have this kind of practice?” Gilles-Hervé Matondo explains that the Football club US Villers-Saint-Paul made a suspended player With the license of his little brother Noah Matondo, 17 years old. A license that the player of the player had not, however, so that he devoted himself to his baccalaureate.

During this U18 D1 category meeting, disputed on November 30 in Villers-Saint-Paul against Beauvais, the player who played with the license of Noah Matondo gave a punch to an opponent. He wore the number 6 of field player. “While my little brother plays a guardian …”, recalls Gilles-Hervé Matondo, himself an educator in football.

Without this punch, this case of alleged identity theft would never have seen the light of day, notes the big brother. The blood stroke initially attributed to Noah rose to him to the ears through a member of the Oise district. “What did he do, your brother?” he asked him. “What are you talking about to me?” asked Gilles-Hervé, in return.

“This act of violence attributed to him can taint his career”

Gilles-Hervé calls his little brother Noah, for clarification. He was present in this match won 0-2 by Beauvais, but in the stands of the Villers-Saint-Paul club. He did not know that a footballer was playing under his name, before his eyes. “My little brother realized the severity of the facts,” continues Gilles-Hervé. He too is an educator. This act of violence can taint his career. ”

In the process, the big brother contacted the leaders of Villers-Saint-Paul by Texto, but does not get an official response. “I was not just implied that it was not so serious,” he is surprised. And yet, yes. Imagine that in front, there is a complaint for the punch … ”

The Oise football district’s football district commission summoned Noah Matondo, wrongly accused. “While he was neither present in the match, nor holder of a legitimate license,” recalls Gilles-Hervé. After investigation, the commission innocent Noah innocent on January 16, confirming that its license had been fraudulently renewed without the agreement of its parents. The US Villers-Saint-Paul is now under an investigation for fake administrative and identity theft. ”
