Frustrated after the draw in Reims (1-1) on Saturday, Olympique Lyonnais believes that referee Stéphanie Frappart should have awarded them two penalties. In addition to sports coordinator Daniel Congré, owner John Textor participated in the protests.
Olympique Lyonnais has it bad. Hooked by the Stade de Reims on Sunday, the Rhone club says it is the victim of two unfair decisions from referee Stéphanie Frappart. The Gones sports coordinator Daniel Congré regretted the penalties not awarded to Alexandre Lacazette and Malick Fofana. “ There are two very contentious situations which were to our disadvantage, I am obviously talking about the two penalties which were not whistled against Lacazette and Fofana », Complained the manager at the microphone of DAZN.
Congré's rant
« I would just like to understand, Madame Frappart did not even consult the VAR, whereas for me there was really food for thoughthe was surprised. I don't know if you've seen the images, but on Lacazette, his support foot is clearly hit. I would just like there to be uniformity in arbitration decisions. I'm disappointed for the players because it doesn't reward their efforts. I would really like uniformity and I am very disappointed because these decisions hurt us. It's starting to take a toll and we're going to have to change things. »
If he had been there, John Textor would probably have spoken to the broadcaster. But the owner of Olympique Lyonnais, absent, had to content himself with a message on Instagram to demonstrate that the Belgian winger should have obtained a penalty. “ TO: contact (red circle) on the posterior side 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 », Wrote the American, before deleting his publication. It is true that the businessman has enough problems to deal with at the moment.
