The Lensois had a bad time after the draw conceded in Reims (1-1) on Sunday.
RC Lens missed the opportunity to achieve one of the big shots of the weekend in Ligue 1. Traveling to Reims, the Sang et Or were only able to draw (1-1) and are at the sixth place in the ranking, two lengths from the leading quartet.
The Lensois were angry after the match. The fault lies with the referee of the match, who was satisfied with a yellow card shortly after returning from the locker room when Joseph Okumu wiped his crampons on Przemyslaw Frankowski’s ankle. And this despite the use of video and overwhelming images.
“Do we have to wait for a broken leg? »
“Do we have to wait for a broken leg? What should we actually expect? What more do you need? said Franck Haise at the end of the meeting. During our match in Nantes (1-0), both feet on our player’s knee, there was no foul and no VAR. And there, he can break his leg, and the referee is called by the VAR. I suspect he didn’t want to break his leg, but could break it. So, what are we waiting for? Let there be a broken leg to do the job? Today, VAR did its job, but I want the referee to explain. »
“Can’t wait for the sound system… It will perhaps never arrive, but I really had a hard time understanding, added the Lensois coach. It happens every weekend, and not just for us. It’s possible to make mistakes. Live and with the speed, it’s complicated to judge, but when the VAR calls you, and the image is clear, I don’t know what to say. »
