Lille was bad on Sunday after her defeat conceded on her lawn against Olympique Lyonnais. And not only because of the meeting scenario, which saw the Gones open the scoring against the course of the game and then rely on their defense and an excellent Dominik Greif in order to make Lille's efforts in vain to equalize.
If the northerners had it bad, it was mainly because of the refereeing of Mathieu Vernice, the referee of the match. “” I don't even want to talk about the problem with Bruno Genesio … but we have a real substantive problem with arbitration in Francethus annoyed Olivier Létang, the Lille president, at the end of the meeting. OYou cannot have evenings like this, it is not possible. I don't want to talk about us. Every weekend, on almost all matches, there are problems. And the problem is that there is no exchange. »»
“People at the head of the French Football Federation do not have the skills to pilot what we need, continued the northern leader. We are asked to put cameras in the locker room. But in the field, the quality of the show is not there. We, this weekend and other clubs, other weekends have disputed situations. This substantive problem must be resolved. »»
Mickaël Landreau in the viewfinder
And the boss of LOSC to continue by attacking Mickaël Landreau, appointed in 2024 “Sports advisor for the tactical and technical preparation of Ligue 1 referees”
by the FFF. “There is nothing personal,” he said in the preamble. But we all wonder what he is doing at the Federation because there is no exchange with the clubs. I am sad for French football. »»
But Olivier Létang was not the only angry Lille. It was the same with Bruno Genesio, expelled in the second period after receiving a first warning for kicking a bottle of water. “Red, I understand, but yellow I don't understand. I pulled in the bottle because we had missed an opportunity, it was not intended for arbitration. If we do not have the right to express emotions, we will remain in the stands like Luis Enrique. It may be the one who is right. Red is for words, I think, of Var in addition, I do not understand what the Var does in this story. Perhaps arbitral solidarity made fire following my words after the derby ”, he blown.
