The tone rose between the Parisian sports director, Luis Campos, and several Lens players, notably Florian Sotoca, this Saturday, at half-time of the PSG-Lens match.
It was hot! Parisians and Lensois returned to their respective locker rooms at half-time of the match between the two teams (1-0 victory for PSG) at the Parc des Princes, this Saturday, during the 10th day of Ligue 1. Until then, nothing nothing surprising or special. Except that the tone is raised. Strong. Luis Campos first let out a shout. «Shut up ! Shut up (ferme là)»exclaimed the sports director of PSG in the corridor. Florian Sotoca was, a priori, not targeted by the Portuguese's comments, but he nevertheless retorted: “Hey, why are you shouting like that? Why is he shouting like that?”. And the Lensois striker – who was also injured during this game – added, speaking to an official: “Can we talk to our players like that?”.
The captain of the Sang et Or, Brice Samba, otherwise brilliant on the field, got involved, trying to ease tensions. He addressed Campos: “You are president (sports director in fact, editor’s note), set an example! You don't have to say “shut up”. Luis Campos denied saying these words. “Yes, you said that, you don’t have to say that! Who do you think you are?”replied Sotoca. Palpable tension. Incidents to relive with the images of beIN SPORTS.

Khusanov expelled
Note that Paris Saint-Germain finally won 1-0 against Lens. A victory which allows Luis Enrique's players to take a six-point lead at the top of the standings, having benefited from the expulsion of Abdukodir Khusanov in the second half. A red which owes nothing to the anger of Luis Campos or to the pressure put on the referees on this occasion: the Uzbek was there willingly on the ankle of the Parisian defender Achraf Hakimi… He did not steal his expulsion . To see if the disciplinary committee finds anything to complain about after the half-time incidents…
