Holder of a Master's degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university career that it was important to evolve in a field that you appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents' dream, who saw in me a future lawyer, to make a living from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered transfer windows and sports news, trying to keep readers informed as best as possible.
The decision to expel Amine Harit during the Classic last Sunday continues to be talked about. According to Bixente Lizarazu, the decision of the abitre François Letexier is unjustified. According to the opinion of the 1998 world champion, the OM player deserved a yellow because he did not intend to injure Marquinhos in the torso.
The Classic between OM and PSG lost its interest in intensity after the expulsion ofAmine Harit. The red card received by the Moroccan international in the 30th minute marked a turning point in this meeting. The player had left his crampon on the chest of Marquinhos, who did not hesitate to show the mark to Alexandre Letexier, who didn't hesitate for a second. However, there was nothing natural about this decision.
Letexier justified his decision.
At the microphone of DAZNthe referee of the match had justified his decision. “ I see that Amine Harit arrives with his leg extended towards his opponent. From the start, I have the feeling that he endangers the physical integrity of the opponent. I took the time to think. I also see the mark of the crampons on Marquinhos' torso. Both elements lead me to the red card » had blurted out Letexier. Explanations which have not convinced many people if we refer to the numerous criticisms received by the referee.
“It’s curious”
Present on the set of Téléfoot this Sunday, Bixente Lizarazu also judged Letexier. According to him, Hari did not deserve this sanction, especially when we see that Marquinhos received a yellow card during the match against RC Lens this Saturday after a tackle on Anas Zaroury. « I wouldn't have put red but yellow. Afterwards, Marquinhos shows the brand… Finally we no longer have the right to use the notion of intentionality. We have a player who plays the ball, who does not look at his opponent. In the case of Marquinhos against Lens, he tries to tackle the opponent, and he only takes a yellow, it's curious » confided the 1998 world champion on TF1.
