Eric Roy fulminates against the refereeing after Brest's defeat against Lyon.
Eric Roy, the coach of Stade Brestois, was beside himself after Stade Brestois' defeat against Olympique Lyonnais (3-4) this Sunday in Ligue 1. The Côte d'Azur technician notably pointed out two decisions that he judged questionable, a red card addressed to his attacking midfielder Pierre Lees-Melou and a penalty not whistled on a hand from Lyonnais Jake O'Brien.
“I don’t know how it’s possible to analyze this kind of situation where a player suffers a foul, judged the Brest manager. He is on the ground, another comes to spear him and pick him up, and the referee does not protect the player who suffered the foul, who is on the ground and who does not ask for anything. And he expels both. No, but wait, it's a gag, it's grotesque. We are already penalized at the end of the match because there is only one who must be sent off, it is Tagliafico. »
A myriad of questions
Eric Roy also questioned the use of VAR, expressing surprise that it did not correct these errors. “What did Lees-Melou do?” Apart from getting up at some point. And to question:“How is that possible? How can we analyze these things in today's football with VAR? How can the 4th referee, on Mounié's head, tell us 'it's checked, there's no hand'? There is no hand? But who hasn't seen the hand? »
With 53 points acquired in 29 days (15 wins, 8 draws and 6 defeats), the Breton club is in second place in the ranking, 10 lengths behind Paris Saint-Germain. The residents of Francis Le Blé will host AS Monaco (3rd) next Sunday for a promising shock.
