The clash between LOSC and Olympique de Marseille was breathtaking and ultimately ended with a draw (1-1). However, Roberto De Zerbi had difficulty digesting certain refereeing decisions. Bruno Genesio, for his part, refuted any significant errors.
The duel at the top kept all its promises, or almost, but what is certain is that LOSC and Olympique de Marseille made life difficult from the first to the last minute. So, it is logical that the two teams left back to back (1-1). Logically? Not for everyone. While in front of the media, Bruno Genesio was questioned at length about arbitration by the local press: “The referee favored us? I don't think we saw the same matchquipped the LOSC coach. Did you see the match? Where? At the stadium, oh well… If you saw that the referee favored us, you must not have been in the right stand. I think… “he insists.
He hadn't quite finished, questioned in a new way: “The level of arbitration? Overall satisfactory. There are two actions that irritated me a little, even if it's not muchadmits Bruno Genesio. He could have called a penalty on Haraldsson in the first half, I think, and the offside he comes back on when we have a two against one situation. I'm not saying we would have scored on this action, but in the spirit of the game, it was good to let him playhe continued. A penalty on Hojbjerg? I watched the action again and it's a duel, nothing more. Blocks like this happen in every match, all the time. »
“A match between OM and LOSC deserves better refereeing”

For his part, a few minutes later, Roberto De Zerbi did not mince his words. The Italian technician firmly attacked Willy Delajod, or rather his decisions: “I think the referee never controlled the matchhe gets annoyed when he arrives at a press conference. There were key actions that were not fairly refereed this evening (Saturday). Apart from the fact that it is Diakité or not who must receive a second yellow, it is that there were systematic faults, in particular on Neal Maupay. He was always attacked incorrectly. I think he (Bafodé Diakité) could have been expelled. On goal, there is an obvious block on (Leonardo) Balerdi. Normally, this kind of thing is not allowed on set pieces. I also think there should have been a penalty on Rowe.”he listed.
The Olympique de Marseille coach did not stop there: “I'm sorry, but I think that a match between OM and LOSC would have deserved better refereeinghe blurted. There were some problems, everyone makes mistakes, but I'm answering you honestly. I don't understand why some fouls weren't called.”he concludes.
