It is a lead of lead that will sadly stay in the history of the Ligue 1. At the end of the match between OL and Brest (2-1 victory of the Lyonnais) on Sunday afternoon, Paulo Fonseca came out of his hinges in 94e Minute of play. While referee Benoît Millot was called by the Var for a possible penalty for Bretons in the 94e Minute of play, the new coach Lyonnais disgusted and almost went to stick his forehead to that of the official. An unacceptable gesture which earned him being logically expelled, while the penalty was not granted to the Brestois after verification of the Var.
After the meeting, Paulo Fonseca wanted to apologize to the Dazn microphone. “I only want to say that I apologize for this gesture, I should not do this but football … maybe he (this sport) makes that we sometimes have gestures that are not correct “He said.
Latour: “At one point you just have to be severe”
Despite his immediate apology, the Portuguese technician could receive a heavy sanction. For Bertrand Latour, the disciplinary committee must even strike very hard. “” It is really unacceptable what Fonseca did and you have to hope that the sanction is severe ”thus dropped the consultant on the set of the Canal Football Club Sunday evening.
“” At one point you just have to be severe, he continued. If Fonseca it does not take 4 or 6 matches (suspension) but it takes 15.20 or 30 it may be the desire to do the same thing. And congratulations to the referee for his reaction. »»
