After the Parisian victory on the lawn of Louis II (4-2), a meeting marked by Singo’s big sole on Donnarumma’s face, Breel Embolo and his coach gave their opinion this Thursday on this sequence which arouses controversy. If the attacker understands the frustration of the Parisians, Adi Hütter recalls that there was nothing intentional.
AS Monaco calms things down. If the Parisians took issue with the lack of sanction after Singo’s heavy sole on Donnarumma’s face, the Monegasques admitted the fault. After the match, which ended in a Parisian victory (4-2), Adi Hütter first apologized for “having reacted quickly.”
In the mixed zone, the Austrian coach still considered that Singo’s fault was not intentional. “He was clearly in front and tried to jump over, I think. It’s a difficult situation also for Donnarumma, but also for Singo, who was affected by what happened,” he says . Indeed, a few hours after the match, his Ivorian central defender was the victim of racist insults on social networks. To calm the situation again, Hütter added “that he could apologize again”, reminding “that there was no malicious intent.”
“If it was on our side, we would have tried to do everything to make it yellow”
Like his coach, Breel Embolo was also understanding. “If it was on our side, we would have tried to do everything to make it yellow, so I understand PSG’s protests,” said the Monaco striker after the match. Already sanctioned with a yellow card (13th), Singo could have been sanctioned with a second, synonymous with expulsion. “For me, at the most, it perhaps deserves a yellow. But as the first yellow was not one, I think the referee is perhaps compensating a little on the action”, estimates the striker Swiss international.
But to definitively end the debate, Paris Saint-Germain broadcast this Thursday morning images of the exchange between Gianluigi Donnarumma and Wilfried Singo. Everything is fine, calm down,” the Parisian goalkeeper told him. For his part, the defender apologized on his social networks.
