We were playing the 67th minute of the match between Monaco and Brest when a clash between SB29 striker Ludovic Ajorque and Monegasque Soungoutou Magassa caused Éric Roy to explode. In the front row of a scene that took place before his eyes, the Brest coach did not – at all, let's say it clearly – relish the decision to sanction his player and not his counterpart. After asking “why?” » several times to the referee of the match, Thomas Léonard, Éric Roy ended up throwing his cap to the ground in rage. A gesture immediately followed by a red card brandished by the man in black.
“Cap throwing is punishable, that’s the news of the evening…”
In the post-match conference, Roy did not wish to dwell on the subject, simply explaining that he had not said anything reprehensible, “apart from saying that the fault is in the other direction”.
“Cap throwing is punishable, it’s the news of the evening,” he added, not without irony. Turning on his heels, once excluded, the SB29 coach still said “what a phony!” ”, as we can see in a DAZN video.
Although he has already shown himself capable of violent attacks in the past, including in Monaco last year, the technician has nevertheless shown signs of real nervousness in recent weeks. Probably frustrated by the deficiencies that his players always display in sequence, and their lack of consistency in the championship, the man whose team has just suffered a third consecutive defeat in Ligue 1 should be heavily sanctioned again. And this, even though he had already received a three-match suspension after his outburst during the match against Toulouse on September 22.
