The star columnist of Canal Football Club regretted François Letexier’s decision to exclude Amine Harit during OM-PSG, accusing him of not having gone to see the images.
Particularly anticipated, the clash between Olympique de Marseille and Paris SG was a shock. The fault lies with the Marseillais who have completely failed. Seven minutes were enough for the French champions to open the score and the rest of the match was as it should be with the Parisians ultra-dominant and quickly in the clear.
Totally powerless, the Ciel et Blanc were not helped by the refereeing either. François Letexier did not hesitate to exclude Amine Harit from the 21e minute of the game for a foul on Marquinhos. If the Moroccan international’s foot actually ended up on the Parisian captain’s chest, the fault did not seem intentional and the contact rather light.
Bertrand Latour does not understand
The decision of the Breton referee aroused very strong reactions, particularly in the Marseille camp even if Roberto de Zerbi, like his players, showed reserve in front of the microphones. And some commentators have also been scathing. This is particularly the case of Bertrand Latour, the star columnist of Canal Football Club. “Having the video, not even going to see the images, on such a decision, is a serious mistake”he wrote on X.
Note that François Letexier took the trouble to justify his decisions in front of the DAZN cameras at the end of the meeting. “
Very quickly, Marquinhos takes off his t-shirt and I see the trace of the crampons at the level of his sternum. he explained in particular, adding: “Endangering the physical integrity of the opponent deserves exclusion. » The referee also mentioned unbroadcast images. “ The VAR confirmed to me that there is contact of the sole at the level of the torso, with an angle which was not broadcast by the production, which allows us to see the duel in profile. In the freeze frame which was provided to me afterwards, we can clearly see the contact of the sole at the level of the sternum. »
