Maxime Lopez after Paris – Annecy: “We're starting to get tired of being fooled by the referees”

It is frustration which emerges mainly from the side of the Paris FCafter another draw conceded: the 5th in a row in all competitions for the leader of Ligue 2 ! WhileAnnecy managed to obtain a goalless draw (0-0) at Charléty, Maxime Lopez came to complain to the microphone of the broadcaster beIN Sports after the final whistle. Without taking anything away from the quality of the opponent, the Parisian midfield star made harsh remarks against the refereeing, believing that Mr. Ruddy Buquet had made two gross errors going against the interests of Paris FC.

“Frankly, Annecy is a great team, there is nothing to say. They came with their ideas. We tended to see teams change their devices when they played against us, this afternoon we saw Annecy stick to their tricks, being aggressive on the carrier. »

“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 afternoon, I would like him to explain to me how he manages not to get red (to Julien Kouadio for the foul on Dicko) in the first half. I'm not looking for excuses, be careful, we didn't deserve to win today. But after a while, we start to get tired of being fooled by the referees. For me there is red in the first half, penalty on Gory but he whistles a simulation. »

“The weekends follow one another but are the same, all the referees – even those from Ligue 1 who are demoted to Ligue 1, we wonder why… Why don’t we put VAR in Ligue 2? It's simple! In Italy she has been there for 10 years, in Germany, she is there everywhere. Ligue 2 is the most neglected championship in the world, I believe. That's all. Bravo to Annecy, they have a great team and really bothered us. On the other hand, at some point, we have to stop taking ourselves for idiots. We have goals, we are ambitious. There, that's it, it's too much. »
