The real reasons for Alexis Beka Beka’s suicide attempt
Early this morning, Var-Matin reported that Alexis Beka Beka’s decision to commit suicide was linked to a romantic breakup. However, the player’s entourage, interviewed by France Bleu, indicated that this situation was rather due to the player’s overall discomfort, and not to sentimental disappointment. The player, originally from Paris, was in danger around 100 meters from the ground, on the emergency lane of the A8 motorway. Two gendarmerie negotiators began discussions with him to bring him back to his senses.

The club has decided to cancel all its media operations planned for this Friday, including the pre-match press conference of coach Francesco Farioli and a player of the team, two days before the reception of the Brest Stadium.
