Holder of a Master's degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university career that it was important to evolve in a field that you appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents' dream, who saw in me a future lawyer, to make a living from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered transfer windows and sports news, trying to keep readers informed as best as possible.
The round of 16 of the Coupe de France between OM and LOSC (1-1, 3-4 tab) was marked by a few moments of tension at the edge of the pitch. Olivier Létang's intervention with the fourth referee provoked the anger of Mehdi Benatia, but also that of Roberto de Zerbi. The response from the Lille president was firm.
The end of the match betweenABOUT and the LOSC gave rise to some tense explanations between Olivier Letang and Mehdi Benatia, excluded by Clement Turpin. The president of LOSC went down to the edge of the pitch to discuss with the fourth referee, which provoked the anger of the new OM football director, but also that of Roberto de Zerbi.
De Zerbi lets out a rant
« Explain to me why the president of Lille (Olivier Létang) goes down to the field to speak with the fourth referee, for the second time here because he did it in L1? The President of the Republic could do it, but the president of a club? His place is in the stands and if no one says something to him, I'll tell him. I did not see Pablo Longoria (the president of OM) speaking with the fourth referee. Many things are strange and I have difficulty understanding them » confided the coach of theABOUT at a press conference.
“Let him do his job as a coach”
In a mixed zone, Olivier Letang responded to this attack. “I didn’t speak to him, didn’t speak to him. Let him do his job as a coach and everything will be fine. I haven't spoken to him so I can't tell you anything. I simply mentioned the fact that the referee played 25 seconds in addition to added time but it ended very well with Mr. Stinat so I don't know why the coach of Olympique de Marseille came to talk to me because I wasn't speaking to him » confided the president of LOSC.
