The former French referee, Tony Chapron, was in solidarity with his colleague Stéphanie Frappart, who was heckled in the Greek Cup final.
Stéphanie Frappart went through hell on Saturday evening in Greece. At the whistle during the national cup final, between Panathinaikos and Aris Salonika, the French referee was very contested throughout the game. And, at the end of the match, she had to leave under a police escort.
Images of the scene went around the world. And in France they scandalized Tony Chapron, the former referee. The latter did not hesitate to speak out and denounce this ambush.
“Frappart was sent into a trap”
” It’s scandalous. We are used to this kind of scene in Greece or Türkiye. Frappart, if she went there, it is because the Greek referees are increasingly challenged. We sent him into a trap, given the circumstances”he said at the microphone of Canal+.
As a reminder, it is not only abroad that Frappart has made enemies. In France too, it has been strongly criticized recently. His rating is even at its lowest since his disastrous refereeing during the Coupe de France half between Lyon and Valenciennes.
