After the draw against Reims (1-1), OL did not fail to highlight two contentious decisions by Stéphanie Frappart. Even on the other side of the Atlantic, John Textor was angry at the absence of a penalty whistled against Malick Fofana.
At one time, the running gag “penalty for Lyon” had ended up invading social networks with each release of theOL and the reputation of Alexander Lacazette among opposing supporters was at times wrongly limited to this exercise. Since the start of the season, it would rather be “no penalty for Lyon” with several contentious actions which did not turn out in favor of the Lyon team. Latest example to date Saturday evening near Reims. After a high-flying first period, Pierre's players Sage were overtaken by their lack of desire upon returning from the locker room.
However, in addition to their missed opportunities, they could have hoped to get back in front if Stéphanie Frappart had chosen to whistle a penalty. As Daniel stated Conger after the draw (1-1), the Lyon leaders had two contentious actions in their sights. A first with Malick Breathing who collapsed in the area after the 70th minute of play. Then a second on Alexandre Lacazette.
Too hot a reaction?
The latter did not necessarily want to argue after the meeting, leaving it to his leaders and the press to report the facts or not. For John Weaverit is clear that the central referee and the VAR made the wrong decision on the action carried out by Breathing. As he usually does with Botafogothe American owner used his social networks to demonstrate by A + B, supporting still image, that there was indeed a fault on his Belgian protégé. “TO: contact (red circle) on the back of the left leg of the Lyon player in red with pushing force (red arrow) and break in the running trajectory. Valid penalty not whistled.” Too hot a reaction? In any case, Weaver quickly deleted his publication, but with the networks, it is quickly too late.
