Two days after OL – Nice, Florian Maurice, the Nice sports director, returned again to the penalty not awarded to his team. The leader regrets that “the referee did not want to reconsider“.
An action that has not stopped getting people talking. Tuesday, two days after the match between OL and Nice (4-1), the Federation indicated that Mr. Dechepy was mistaken in not calling a penalty for the Aiglons on a foul by Duje Caleta-Car at the start of the second act. Since Sunday evening, the Riviera club has continued to step up to express its discontent. Florian Mauricein particular, is in high demand.
“He absolutely didn't want to watch the pictures.“
Already speaking a few minutes after the game, the Nice sports director was the guest of the L’Equipe channel. He was thus able to return once again to this fact of play. “It's quite overwhelming unfortunately.“, he first commented. “Everyone has the right to make mistakes. We can sense that the VAR referee is trying to explain to him that his arm is around his neck and that he is stepping on his foot. The feeling we have is that he absolutely did not want to look at the images and change his mind, he argued. He says: 'I don't have enough to call a penalty'. But what does that mean?“
-On December 3, the FFF revealed the images and audio of the conversation between the central referee and his video assistants. A clarification, or at least the beginning of an explanation, on the choice of Bastien Dechepy who obviously did not convince OGC Nice.
