After the draw between OM and Lille on Saturday evening during the 15th day of Ligue 1, Roberto De Zerbi and Bruno Genesio were not kind about the refereeing of Willy Delajod, not at the level according to the two coaches .
Referee Willy Delajod did not score any points with Marseillais and Lille this Saturday. At the whistle of the great display between the two teams at the Vélodrome for the 15th day of Ligue 1, the referee experienced an eventful end to the match, between distribution of cards and escort to the locker room under the jeers of the Marseille supporters. His performance was widely commented on by the two coaches at the final whistle.
For Roberto De Zerbi, the referee had “not had a good match”, that he “never had it in hand”. De Zerbi notably estimated that Lille defender Bafodé Diakité, scorer of the equalizing goal, should have “received a second warning for his systematic fouls on Neal Maupay”.

“Did you see the match?”
“On the Lille goal, there is an obvious block on Leonardo Balerdi. And I think there is a penalty for a foul on Jonathan Rowe,” he added. The Marseillais also demanded a penalty for a possible foul on Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the second period. “A Marseille-Lille match would have deserved better management. The refereeing did not please me today, even if everyone is wrong and me first and foremost. But there were many episodes which did not please me. didn’t rain,” De Zerbi further elaborated.
The regrets were approximately equal on Bruno Genesio’s side. “I’m a little frustrated because there was a way to do better and we deserved better. But it’s still very positive. Favored by the referee? I don’t think we saw the same match. ( To the journalist) Did you see the match? If you saw that the referee favored us, you must not have been in the right stand.”
But the Losc coach has “mixed feelings” after his team’s draw. “We have played 25 matches, we are 4th, we remain unbeaten in 16 matches and we are qualified at least for the round of 16 of the Champions League. This series says that we have good players and that it there is a state of mind that I really like in this group, we feel real strength,” said Genesio.
