Florian Maurice, Franck Haise and the Niçois protested against the refereeing of Bastien Dechepy during the defeat at Groupama Stadium against OL this Sunday in Ligue 1 (4-1). They criticize him in particular for having forgotten a penalty on Evann Guessand.
Nice doesn't let up. As during their last trip to Lyon, the Niçois consider themselves wronged by the refereeing following a new defeat on Lyon soil, this Sunday in Ligue 1 (4-1). This time, no Clément Turpin in the viewfinder, but Bastien Dechepy. The Aiglons criticize him in particular for having forgotten a penalty on Evann Guessand at the start of the second half, even though he had consulted the VAR.
“I'm going to be the one who complains to the referees but there are situations which were judged very badly by the referee, by the VAR”, railed Florian Maurice, the sports director of the Gym, in the mixed zone . “It's a big disappointment, we were hoping for a better result. We could have taken the lead if the goal hadn't been canceled due to a small mistake by Rosario. When we don't call a penalty on Evann Guessand, and that 'We are calling out this mistake, I find it scandalous. I haven't spoken with him, but he can give me as many explanations as he wants. I have reviewed the images, it is impossible not to. not whistle penalty on an action like that There was a complete failure at the refereeing level. The decisions were very bad This evening, it went beyond the limits.
At the microphone of DAZN, Florian Maurice went even further: “The referee had a white jersey, not a yellow jersey. It's a scandal what Mr. Dechepy did. What is he waiting for? He slits his throat? What does Mr. Dechepy do? I'm going to be suspended by the League because I spoke about the refereeing, which was not at all good this evening. “
Haise regrets “contentious decisions” turned “in one direction and not the other”
Coach Franck Haise estimated that “the contested decisions have always gone one way and not the other”. “It’s funny to come out of a match with a 4-1 defeat, it’s heavy partly because of us but also because of the refereeing,” breathed the Nice coach at a press conference. “But if we lose 4-1, we are disappointed because we lacked efficiency in both areas. The disappointment is with us. The match could have changed differently if we had followed through with our intentions but missed out on “There were difficult decisions to accept,” he concluded.
The Gym also retweeted on its social networks the front page of L'Équipe “Nice stolen from Lyon” dating from September 13, 2008, when the Gym lost 3-2 on a penalty from Karim Benzema in the last seconds then that he was leading 2-0. A publication that the Riviera club had already relayed last February.
