Big anger on the Paris FC side after the draw at home against Annecy (0-0). The Parisians have lost two important points and Maxime Lopez is angry. Not against the opponent who did well. “Annecy is a great team. There is nothing to say. Frankly they came with their quality. We had seen teams play different systems against us. Today we saw Annecy continue to play aggressively,” Lopez began by emphasizing.
Maxime Lopez calls for VAR in Ligue 2
But the former OM midfielder did not contain his anger for long, which then targeted the refereeing body, with a monumental rant. “Now I would like us to open the referee file. I'm starting to get a little tired of it. Every weekend in Ligue 1 it's the same thing, in Ligue 2 it's the same thing. This evening I would like him to explain to me how he can not put red in the first period. I'm not looking for excuses, maybe we don't deserve to win tonight but after a while we start to get tired of being fooled by the referees. For me there is a red card first. There is a penalty then, he gives us a yellow card. The weekends follow one another and all the referees are the same. Even referees who play in Ligue 1 are demoted to Ligue 2. We wonder why we don't put VAR in Ligue 2. In Serie A it's been there for 10 years. There is VAR in Germany, it's the same everywhere, why don't we put it in Ligue 2, the most neglected championship in the world I believe. Now I'm not crying about that Annecy had a good match, there's nothing to say but afterward we have to stop taking ourselves for idiots. We also have our objectives, we are ambitious but that’s too much,” said the Parisian midfielder.
