This Ligue 1 weekend was marked by a mind-blowing scene.

It’s the drop of water that makes the vase overflow. Or one defeat too many, it depends. In the midst of a sporting crisis, FC Metz suffered another frustrating setback on Friday evening. The Lorraine club was overthrown by Olympique Lyonnais after opening the score at the start of the match.
A terrible scenario for a Metz team that has been completely at a standstill since the start of the calendar year. This new poor performance generated a moment of great tension after the meeting. The scene took place at a press conference.

“You deserve a slap”

Metz coach László Bölöni had a verbal altercation with a Canal + journalist present at Saint-Symphorien on Friday evening. Asked about his short-term future, the Romanian technician saw red. “ Listen to me! When you ask questions so stupid, so provocative… ‘When are you going to be fired?’ That’s practically what you’re asking for. And you’re laughing!“, Bölöni was offended.

No ! I didn’t want to offend you sir. It is not the goal“, retorted the journalist from the encrypted channel. To which the FC Metz coach replied: “ You deserve a slap“. An incident which well sums up the tense atmosphere surrounding the promoted club in recent weeks.
