Olivier Létang railed against the VAR referees on Sunday evening after Lille’s defeat against PSG (1-3), on the 3rd day of Ligue 1.
“The championship is already truncated”got carried away by the president of Lille Olivier Létang, “mad as hell” towards the VAR referees, whom he accuses of having unfairly invalidated a Lille goal against Paris SG, winner (3-1) on Sunday at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
Olivier Létang was referring to the equalizing goal (2-2, 82nd) by Tiago Santos, disallowed after the intervention of the video assistance referee for an alleged offside position, which he disputes.
“I’m furious”
“The central element is that with eight minutes to go, it should be 2-2 and we are pushing, we are on a dynamic”he stressed.
“The Ligue 1 championship is truncated, while we have all the technological tools to make the right decisions. But what are those in charge of this doing? It’s not possible.”he denounced.

“When afterwards we see clearly, cleanly and precisely that there is no offside, I am furious.”the leader said.
According to him, Thomas Meunier deflects the ball with his foot, which brings the Portuguese right-back back into play.
“There is no ethics”
“Let’s be professional, Professional Football League, a professional competition… In fact, there is no ethics. At some point: stop! There are tools, let’s use them professionally so that the right decisions are made. Or else, we stop, it costs us 25 million euros per year!”he thundered.
Losc coach Bruno Genesio also returned to this fact of play after the match: “The second Lille goal is valid, if we put in a VAR that doesn’t do its job, it’s useless. On the bus, what were the referees doing, were they watching something else, a film?”
