The famous RMC consultant Jérôme Rothen said what he thought of the number one French referee.
Jérôme Rothen offered himself a real indictment against the referee Clément Turpin this Monday in the show Rothen ignites on RMC. In addition to multiplying the “bullshit”, the man in black would do as he pleases in Ligue 1 according to the former Monegasque’s accusations.
“Mr. Turpin and many other arbitrators, I will also attack the arbitration authorities. But to begin with, Mr. Turpin is not good. After the why and how, namely does he have arrogance and takes himself for someone else or does he see nothing, is he dishonest and is it incompetence? I don’t know, I don’t know about that,” thus criticized the former player in his show Rothen ignites on RMC.
“What is certain is that from week to week, on Ligue 1 pitches, and that’s why I think it’s more arrogance and the fact that he thinks he’s someone else , he was placed as the best French referee. »
Stéphanie Frappart is not exempt from all criticism either, according to Jérôme Rothen. “ He is in a box like Stéphanie Frappart, we have placed them in boxes and we no longer even look at what they do on the weekend. These are our two international referees, our two references, the big names and the others you follow”, deplores the star of RMC. “And yet there are also international referees in our championship but they are below these two. »
“Once you say that, you see week after week they do stupid things. And often Mr. Turpin is him. When he is at VAR, he is not on the field but allows himself to take VAR to task. He’s the one who says ‘no, don’t go and see’ or ‘go and see’ this or that. In fact it’s rain or shine. And so, he, this Mr. Turpin who thinks he is someone else, gives the instructions. And I know that because I was told, he gives instructions before matches: ‘VAR you don’t call me for nothing’. So the guys have incredible pressure, they don’t take their responsibilities and don’t want to call him because they don’t want to upset Mr. Turpin. »
