The Paris Saint-Germain sporting director is angry at the referee’s performance during the club’s 1-1 draw against Montpellier Herault at the Stade de la Mosson in which there were two sending offs
A rather surreal scene took place in front of Canal Plus’ reporters following the 1-1 Ligue 1 draw between Montpellier Herault and Paris Saint-Germain at the Stade de la Mosson on Sunday. The draw means that Paris Saint-Germain are still on top of the Ligue
1 standings with 23 points from 12 games.
However, both the sporting director Leonardo and coach Carlo Ancelotti were not happy at all with the refereeing decisions throughout the game. Both teams ended the game with 10 men and it was PSG who say http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mamadou-Sakho-c23293 sent off for a tackle on Gaetan Charbonnier.
The young forward was indeed fouled by the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international but after a few replays, it was pretty clear that the tackle did not deserve a straight red card.
The defender’s red card changed the complexion of the game and at the end of 90 minutes, the match referee, Clement Turpin received a lot of criticism from the PSG dressing room.
In the press conference in the aftermath of the game, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-c22056 said that it is not possible to ignore the referee’s performance when he sends off a player after just 10 minutes into the game. According to the Brazilian, it was Charbonnier who initially fouled
Sakho.
However, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan manager holds no grudge against Mr. Turpin as he feels that he is still very young and needs to learn a lot.
“It is not possible to be happy. And, it is impossible not to talk about the referee. If after 10 minutes, you play with ten men, the expulsion is difficult to understand. I saw the videos. We ask our players to be professionals. I have nothing against Mr.
Turpin. He is 30-years-old. He’s young. He still has a lot to learn but he is also the referee who expelled Ancelotti and Lavezzi in Ajaccio (Week 2 of Championnat). Fine, at the end of the 38 days, it is always the best team that wins. But during the course,
it’s hard to live in situations like these.”
