Beyond the defeat conceded on Saturday evening by Olympique de Marseille on the AJ Auxerre field (3-0, 23rd day of Ligue 1), it is especially the ulcerated media outing of Pablo Longoria that has been talking about . The president of the Marseille club has literally exploded against the referee, speaking of
“Shit championship” and even going so far as to talk about “Corruption”. What cause many reactions, including that of Bixente Lizarazu.
Passed briefly by OM with fifteen games played in 2004, the TF1 was questioned on Sunday in the show “Telefoot”. And he did not hesitate to speak of scandal. “These are serious, inadmissible remarks. He will be heavily sanctioned, I think. »» For Bixente Lizarazu, there was no need to attend such behavior. “On the match, you have to be factual: Auxerre won 3-0, not 1-0. Auxerre was much better. Marseille was not good. So the result is logical. »»
” Calm. Calm “
And the 1998 and European world champion 2000 with the Blues to continue by evoking the various actions deemed to be disputed by OM: “If you look at the two actions, you cannot say in a sure way that there is a penalty on the fault on Merlin and that there is no second box on (Cornelius). (…) You cannot be affirmative, I will not be, but the contact I see it in the end. By cons for Cornelius, I think I am more affirmative. For me he does not control his action at all, even if he touches the balloon before, he comes to put the knee. It seems logical to me that he takes a second box on this action. »»
For Bixente Lizarazu, the conclusion is therefore quite obvious:
“I do not see a situation of manifest error of the referee who justifies the pesting of lead. You are very frustrated, very well, but you are second in the championship, five points still on Lille. Calm. Calm. There is a kind of obsession and paranoia on the arbitration that serves OM when they are in a more than favorable sporting situation. »»
