Last weekend, several refereeing decisions in Ligue 1 caused controversy. Between the severe expulsion of Balogun (Monaco) and several incidents during the opposition between Lyon and PSG, certain players did not hesitate to cry foul. On the OL side, the defeat against Paris (2-3) does not pass. And Corentin Tolisso, Lyon captain, chose to speak publicly Monday evening on social networks to criticize the arbitration.
“I am not used to making this kind of video, even less via social networks, but for me it was important to express myself on what happened on Sunday and on what has been happening since the start of the season in Ligue 1”launched Tolisso. “Yesterday, we were victims of refereeing errors, but more generally, it’s the same thing every weekend, on every pitch in Ligue 1.”
Khazri criticizes Tolisso’s proposal
The Lyon midfielder went into detail regarding the match against PSG. “After Paris’ third goal, I went to see Benoît Bastien and I told him that I was sorry, but that in all honesty he was not up to standard. He replied: “What do you propose?” Today, I would like us to get together, to have a dialogue, to have a meeting with all the captains, a manager from each club and all the referees with their superiors. To talk and get things done, because for me, that’s no longer possible. »
A rare speech which sparked numerous comments. This Monday evening on the set of Late Football ClubWahbi Khazri, former captain of ASSE, reacted to Tolisso’s comments.
“What he is proposing is not going to move things forward. Arbitration always remains at the discretion of the arbitrator. We can have five different opinions around the table. On the three situations that were debated, my opinions will not be the same as yours. The referee must make mistakes sometimes, and over a season, it evens out.”explained the ex-Stéphanois. Tolisso’s proposal is therefore not to Khazri’s taste.
