Geronimo Rulli’s rage after OM-Strasbourg

This Sunday, January 19, Olympique de Marseille was held on its lawn by Strasbourg (1-1), at the end of the 18th day of Ligue 1, in a still electric meeting where refereeing was at the center of the debates. After the match, Marseille goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli presented himself to journalists, and did not hide his disappointment with his team’s result. “We are disappointed to give up two points to Paris. It’s a real shame this result, even more so at home, when we were better than Strasbourg after the break. We have the chances, but also penalties that the referee didn’t want to call.”explained the Argentinian goalkeeper bitterly.

The former Montpellier goalkeeper also complained about the lack of overall consistency of the arbitration decisions, recalling that “during the week, the refereeing department made its mea culpa, as after the penalties awarded in Lyon or Rennes. But the truth is that it always falls against us. I don’t want to make excuses, but it’s happening again.” With this draw, OM misses an opportunity to put their competitors at bay, and to keep pace with PSG at the top of the standings.
