OM had a golden opportunity to overtake their direct competitors for second place on Sunday evening. But Roberto De Zerbi’s men came up against Strasbourg even though they certainly deserved better. The Phocaeans could even have benefited from a penalty at the end of the match. Speaking to the broadcaster’s microphone, Pablo Longoria expressed his fed up with French arbitration.
The opportunity was great for loon who could take off with the LOSC et AS Monaco Sunday evening. However, the public of Velodrome was once again disillusioned since the Olympians did no better than a draw against a rough team of Strasbourg. The men of Liam Rosenior increased their contacts and were very rarely notified. Worse still, loon believes that he should have benefited from a penalty at the very end of the match. The last straw for Pablo Longoria, furious after the meeting.
“It’s a scandal”
« You have to say stop. The penalty action on Rowe is a scandal. There is a clear chance to score and the player is not in action to play the ball, what more is needed? How far will we get with Olympique de Marseille? Why doesn’t VAR stop, Longoria complained. You played football, an action in which he does not play the ball, he puts his hand behind the back, obvious action, it is penalty all life. I don’t understand. He pushed him. With speed, there is a fault », railed Pablo Longoria live on the microphone of DAZN. The president of loon is at the end.
“Every weekend, it’s the same thing”
« These are too many decisions. I’m not victimizing myself, but we’re reaching a point where we can’t accept that and I don’t accept it. Every weekend it’s the same thing. I’m the president, I have ambitions, the whole team is frustrated, so what should we do to change this dynamic? Because every weekend it’s the same thing », added Pablo Longoria. The message got through.
