This Ligue 1 weekend was marked by a mind-blowing scene.
It’s the drop of water that makes the vase overflow. Or one defeat too many, it depends. In the midst of a sporting crisis, FC Metz suffered another frustrating setback on Friday evening. The Lorraine club was overthrown by Olympique Lyonnais after opening the score at the start of the match.
A terrible scenario for a Metz team that has been completely at a standstill since the start of the calendar year. This new poor performance generated a moment of great tension after the meeting. The scene took place at a press conference.
“You deserve a slap”
Metz coach László Bölöni had a verbal altercation with a Canal + journalist present at Saint-Symphorien on Friday evening. Asked about his short-term future, the Romanian technician saw red. “ Listen to me! When you ask questions so stupid, so provocative… ‘When are you going to be fired?’ That’s practically what you’re asking for. And you’re laughing!“, Bölöni was offended.
“ No ! I didn’t want to offend you sir. It is not the goal“, retorted the journalist from the encrypted channel. To which the FC Metz coach replied: “ You deserve a slap“. An incident which well sums up the tense atmosphere surrounding the promoted club in recent weeks.
