Brazilian central defender Jubal marked a double while Gaetan Perrin also scored during the 3-0 victory in Auxerre in Ligue 1 on Saturday. This humiliating defeat leaves the Phocaeans 10 points from the championship leader, Paris Saint-Germain. During the match, visitors also saw defender Derek Cornelius expelled after receiving a second yellow card. The referee's decision was not well received by De Zerbi who then criticized the level of arbitration in France.
Never again for Zerbi
“I am Italian, and after OM, I will no longer train in France. There is a problem in the French championship, if the French are happy with this level of decision, so much the better for them. But today it was scandalous. The referee was not in (the good state of mind to arbitrate) this match because of all the controversies around him ”said Brighton's former coach in Provence. “Everything is organized. It's planned, it's rigged. There is a penalty on Merlin, four European referees told me by message, and the most scandalous, it is the red card for Cornelius. It's a shit championship, if the Super League comes to see us, we will go right away“He said.
The comments of De Zerbi intervene after the club officially filed a complaint with the arbitral council of the referees at the start of the week concerning the selection of Jeremy Stinat to arbitrate the meeting. This information comes after the same official was involved in the three -month suspension of the Marseille sports director, Medhi Benatia, after the elimination of the French Cup club last month.
The French club will be back in Ligue 1 next Sunday, by facing Nantes at home.
