Present on RMC on Monday in the show Rothen s’enflamme, Christophe Dugarry returned to the main fact of the game in the Classic won on Sunday evening by Paris Saint-Germain, namely the red card inflicted on Amine Harit at the start of the match for a foot deemed too high on Marquinhos. A decision which, however, did not please the former Olympian striker. “I wanted to enjoy it. I had this weekend checked off 15 days ago. I had sent the family off to say that I was having a great weekend. And there I see myself Arsenal-Liverpool where it sends, I see Real Madrid-Barcelona where it sends and where it runs, it takes hits, it goes there you want there. And there I see myself this Marseille-Paris Saint Germain with this Mr. Letexier who is normally a very good referee and who we saw refereeing in the Euro final. He never whistles this foul in the Euro final. He never wears red and I don’t even know if he wears yellow.”first launched the consultant. Relaunched on this sequence, Dugarry also castigated the justifications of the evening official.
“I hear his explanations and he has the right to say that he referees on the technical side and the protection of the players. But man, that’s not all you’re here for. And therein lies the problem with refereeing, which is why I appeal to Mika Landreau (sports advisor for the tactical and technical preparation of referees). The referees are not there to protect the players or not only for that. That’s not all, their role. They will spend their time showing red cards because there are hits and contacts, injuries, bruises and scratches all the time. They are also there to bring fluidity, impact and quality to the game. It is he (the referee) who is the metronome of the match. He can explain to me what he wants but this match is not refereed like any other match. That’s why I blame him for something because, sorry for the expression, he killed my match. He killed my game! I didn’t want to watch the match anymore because it killed it for me! And imagine the broadcaster who pays 500 million euros. I see Labrune in the stands with the presidents, 500 million euros… And the most important match, the one which should be the showcase, the guy ruined it for you for a foul where it’s bordering on yellow. You must not… He killed your game!” Atmosphere…
