Well aware of having been heckled, Djibril Sidibé had a few words for the RC Lens supporters in the mixed zone: “The whistles? I don't know if it's because I played in Lille (2012-2016). But the player did not control his action, there was clearly a fault. It is up to the referee to decide if there is red. It's a shame for this wonderful audience. Yelling, insulting, it stains his image. I explained the situation to Florian Sotoca and Adrien Thomasson. It’s up to them to perform well on both surfaces, quite simply”he said, determined to enjoy this success in blood and gold.
