During the 14th day of Ligue 2, Paris FC hosted FC Annecy. At the end of a sad goalless draw (0-0), Maxime Lopez gave a big rant about the referee of the match, Ruddy Buquet. According to him, a penalty was forgotten just like a red card. Rare remarks which should certainly be followed by sanctions…
Before fully beginning their new era with the family buyout Arnault et Red Bullthe Paris FC must first succeed in getting out of the trouble of Ligue 2. Leader before the match of Lorient this Saturday evening, the Paris FC is in a good position but has just gone a fifth match without a victory.
“We’re starting to get tired of it”
After the meeting with Annecy, Maxime Lopezthe former player of loon recruited from Sassuolo made critical remarks about arbitration at the microphone of BeIN Sport : « Annecy is a great team, there is nothing to say, they came with their ideas. Now I would like us to open the arbitration file. I'm starting to get a little tired of it. Every weekend, in Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, it's the same thing. This evening I would like him (the referee) to explain to me how he can not put red in the first period. 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 in the first half and then there is a penalty on Alimami Gory and he gives us a yellow card. »
“We have to stop taking ourselves for idiots”
« The weekends follow one another and are the same with all the referees. Even referees who play in Ligue 1 are being demoted to Ligue 2. We wonder why we don't put VAR in Ligue 2. In Serie A it has been there for 10 years (eight in reality). There is VAR in Germany, it's the same everywhere. Why don't we put him in Ligue 2? It is the most neglected championship in the world, he continues. 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 goals, we are ambitious, but this is too much. »
