Arbitration controversies are a Lyon-Nice tradition.
Largely beaten in Lyon this Sunday (4-1), Nice suffered a bitter defeat and attacked the refereeing body. If the cancellation of Evann Guessand's goal at the start of the game was already contentious, what can we say about the penalty refused to Nice a few minutes after returning from the locker room? Then trailing 3-1, the Aiglons were about to thank Duje Ćaleta-Car for having committed an irregular intervention on this same Guessand and giving them the opportunity to restart the match. But Bastien Dechépy decided otherwise. Even with a review of the VAR, the evening referee did not sanction this fault which seemed obvious.
What enraged Florian Maurice, sports director of the Gym, speaking to DAZN after the meeting: “This evening, Mr. Dechépy had a white jersey, not a yellow jersey. How can we not whistle a penalty on Evann Guessand? I find that scandalous. » “What are we waiting for? (so that he whistles) ? That he slit her throat? Take him by the neck? He even crushes his foot”he said. A breakdown which, he already knows, will earn him « suspended by the League ». In a calmer tone, coach Franck Haise went in the same direction: “Mr. Dechépy had chosen his side on the disputed actions. But it's not even a contentious action, that's the problem. The action of our penalty, there is no need for VAR. » But he was careful not to get completely angry: “The last time I lost my temper against Mr. Dechépy, I took four matches. »
After the cascade of injuries in Nice, the bench would no longer be empty.
