“My career could have taken a different turn today but I was very lucky. » At the end of
the defeat of Paris Saint-Germain in Monaco (1-0)Saturday evening on behalf of the 14e day of Ligue 1, Lucas Chevalier was measuring his luck in not having been seriously injured following a tackle as reckless as it was violent on his right ankle from Lamine Camara.
For this dangerous gesture, the young Monegasque received a simple yellow card. And this decision by Clément Turpin not to bring out the red does not fail to provoke a reaction. Like that of his VAR assistants, who did not see fit to call the central referee.
On his YouTube channel, Pierre Ménès made very virulent remarks against Mr. Turpin. “After the tackle on Chevalier’s ankle, Clément Turpin’s decision is incomprehensible and scandalous. But he is still happy with himself, not having seen fit to show a red card which is nevertheless obvious to anyone on this earth », castigated the former star consultant of Canal+.
“Clément Turpin’s decision is incomprehensible and scandalous”
“The argument of it will distort the match » who cares, he continued. If Camara breaks Chevalier’s ankle, the match is also distorted. So since his ankle is not broken, there is no red. »
And Pierre Ménès also attacks the referees present in the VAR: “ What is also incredible is that the VAR did not see fit to call Mr. Turpin. Which supports the thesis that when it is the “star” referees who are on the pitch, the VAR guys poop their pants to call them. »
