“” Having the support of my players and my club is the most important. It was a beautiful moment. We are together. My players are with me. “These were the first words of Paulo Fonseca this Thursday evening in Bucharest, after the victory of Lyon in the round of 16 first leg of the Europa League (1-3).
The day before, the Portuguese technician received a nine -month suspension with the disciplinary committee of the Professional Football League. This for his blood stroke against referee Mr. Millot in the championship match between OL and Brest on Sunday.
“It's not fair”
“” My suspension? I am calmer, serene. I have the support of people close to me. I am ready. I will never give upblows the interested party, thus relayed by RMC. How will I work? We are preparing to have solutions. The most important thing is the work done during the week. In match, players know what we have to do. I have a technical staff in which I believe very much. We will be ready. »»
Paulo Fonseca nevertheless pushed a rant, considering himself the victim of an injustice. “” We have the possibility of making appeals. I have the support of my leaders. I only want to say one thing: I have nine months suspension for a situation for which I apologized. I see this media circus which continues to say that I made an assault. There are the images. I did not touch the referee. I verbally attacked the referee. But I have never done physical assault, I did not intend to do it either. The people who decided on this sanction thought of the general situation of French football. I am the person who has to pay. I saw what has happened in the past in France. The sanctions were different. It's not fair. »»
