Franck Haise and the Lensois players hardly appreciated the refereeing of the German Daniel Siebert on Wednesday against PSV Eindhoven.
RC Lens had a bad evening on Wednesday at Philips Stadium. By losing 1-0 on the pitch at PSV Eindhoven, the Sang et Or have in fact compromised their chances of qualifying for the round of 16. The Lensois had it bad at the end of the meeting. An anger mainly directed against the referee of the match. The fault was the eight yellow cards received, with Morgan Guilavogui even being sent off in added time.
“I don’t know what the Champions League is like in terms of refereeing… I just see this evening that we made 10 fouls and that we took eight yellow cards and one red cardlamented Franck Haise in front of the RMC Sport 1 cameras after the match. Our opponents made 19 and only took two yellow cards… So I know that we have three yellow cards for protest but precisely: there were double standards on the refereeing and I find it difficult to understand how you can end up with eight yellows and one red after making 10 mistakes. The Champions League referees will perhaps be able to explain to me one day, but it’s not certain…”
Himself warned shortly before the break for lifting an opponent to the ground while tempers were heating up, Florian Sotoca agreed with his coach. “There are double standards. That’s how it is… We knew it was difficult for us, railed the Artesian attacker. We quickly took the boxes and that’s what bothered us too, in the second half, we had to be a little more careful because we had quite a few boxes. At halftime, everyone had to calm down. »
Franck Haise now hopes that this meeting will serve as a lesson to his troops. “It’s up to us to be more experienced, more mischievous or more vicious… Be a little less naive in any case, which does not prevent the stats that I gave you,” he said at the conference. press. I think it’s better not to be Tom Thumb in this competition. »
