Clermont does not continue. Victorious during the previous day on their lawn against Lorient, the Clermontois foundered this Saturday evening as part of the 13th day of the League against Racing Club de Lens.
The CF63 lost heavily in front of its public with a score of 3 goals to 0 against the Lensois. A very lively meeting with many boxes, including two on the Clermont side. Alidu Seidu but especially the French technician Pascal Gastien just before the end of the first period.
According to images released by Canal + on Saturday evening, the French coach made some strong remarks which would have earned him expulsion from the sidelines. ” Oh ! Look at me when I talk to you! Stop talking ! Shut up ! Stop talking ! You who are there! “What a scandal!” What a shame, what a shame! Shameful what’s happening, shameful. Give them the Champions League, there’s no problem, » he addressed to Lensois and the referee.
Comments to which Franck Haise responded during the break during a heated exchange with his counterpart: “ Every time we come here you make a mess Pascal“.
Clermont still in the red zone
In a post-match press conference, the Clermont coach somewhat regretted his comments, while defending his players:
“ If it had been a player other than a Clermont player, there would have been no red card. On my own exclusion, I told the assistant referee that I had the impression that we didn’t want to see Clermont in Ligue 1. Seidu reacted but I found it unfair . My reaction is not absolutely intelligent either.. »
The start of the season is very complicated in the ranks of Clermont Foot. With this setback, the CF63 remains in the red zone, in 17th place with a total of 9 points on the clock. In the event of a victory for Olympique Lyonnais this Sunday against Lille, Gastien’s men would be bottom of Ligue 1.
The Clermontois must quickly rectify the situation during their next outing on the Montpellier lawn. A match counting for the 8th day which had been interrupted because of projectiles being thrown onto the pitch.
