A week after a derby which ended suddenly for RC Lens, there were still things to say about the referee of the match against PSG. The Blood and Gold are getting annoyed.
Last in the fair play rankings in Ligue 1, just behind Montpellier, the Lens club left with one more red card from the Parc des Princes, Abdukodir Khusanov having logically been sent off after the break following a dangerous tackle on Achraf Hakimi . But before that, it was Will Still who was warned, the northern coach not having appreciated that the referee gave a yellow to one of his players who fell to the ground during a rather light duel with Bradley Barcola. And the technician's file is getting even heavier on the side of the LFP disciplinary committee.
Since the start of the season, this is the third warning taken by the Lensois technician who will be automatically suspended for the reception of OM on November 23. And above all, it adds fuel to the fire, a week after the derby won by LOSC at Bollaert in the last minutes after a penalty awarded to Lille, which had provoked the anger of the Lensois camp. For Will Still, certainly, that’s a lot.
Lens last in the fair play ranking
Speaking in the corridors of the Parc des Princes, where things had been heated between Luis Campos and Florian Sotoca, the RC Lens coach wondered what the referees were playing with his club. “ I know that I tend to exaggerate, that I live matches to the fullest, that I sometimes have excessive reactions. I'm the first to admit it. But there, I simply went to ask the fourth referee for an explanation in a perfectly calm manner. I made an effort in the way I spoke. But he called the central referee and gave me a yellow card. And that pissed me off. I want to remain polite, no longer gesticulate with my arms as the referees asked me to do. But I was respectful enough, I didn't do anything wrong, and I find it really unfortunate (…) I have already said what I had to say about French referees », Predicted Will Still, who knows that there are things to review
