“Mr. Dechépy had chosen his side on the disputed actions. But it's not even a contentious action, that's the problem. The action of our penalty, there is no need for VAR,” added the Nice coach, very upset. A feeling shared by the Gym staff who brought out the artillery this Monday with an incendiary press release against the refereeing of the OL – Nice match.

An impunity that raises questions. The inventory causes great frustration. Especially since it evokes a bitter feeling of déjà vu in Lyon. Where each trip for 3 years and 4 matches has brought its share of misunderstandings, between the penalties that we did not want to see. And those whistled with eagerness when reserve seemed to be necessary »scathed OGC Nice.
