OGC Nice suffered the law of OL this Sunday evening at Groupama Stadium, on behalf of the 13e act of Ligue 1. Victims of a hat-trick from Alexandre Lacazette in particular, the Aiglons exploded with a score of 4-1. A heavy and severe addition, readily attributed to the generosity of the arbitration according to the Riviera camp.
Florian Maurice, the sports director of the Gym, expressed his anger directly on DAZN. “ This evening, Mr. Dechépy wore a white jersey (the color of the Gones tunic, editor’s note), not a yellow jersey.

Maurice does not lose his temper
The reason for the former Lyonnais’ wrath? A foul by Duje Caleta-Car on the Nice striker provoked which prompted an alert from the VAR but did not convince Mr. Dechépy. A turning point in the match, especially as OL were subsequently able to benefit from a penalty in a less clear-cut phase of play. “ Mr. Dechépy had chosen his side on the disputed actions. But it’s not even a contentious action, that’s the problem. The action of our penalty, there is no need for VAR », Estimates Gym coach Franck Haise in a calmer tone.
“ I’m shouting, and I know that I’m going to be summoned by the disciplinary committee because I criticize the refereeing but tonight, it’s a scandal », further supports Florian Maurice. And then add in the mixed zone: “ There have been refereeing errors since the start of the season, but I’m just going to talk about tonight. I think the decisions were very, very bad. I’m not in the habit of coming in front of the press to express myself and in particular to talk about refereeing, but this was too blatant. »
