PSG was indeed injured on Saturday during the clash against Monaco. The tackle received by Lucas Chevalier in the first half deserved a red card. In any case, this is the opinion of Antony Gautier, the director of arbitration. The former whistleblower indeed confided during the liaison committee between professional clubs and referees that Lamine Camara should have been expelled for this action.
Clément Turpin, who refereed the match in the Principality, however, only sent a simple yellow card and the VAR found nothing wrong with this decision. The reason? A regulation which requires exclusion when the impact is above the malleolus. However, during the action, Lucas Chevalier was hit just below the malleolus. What provokes the anger of Jérôme Rothen.

“On Camara’s despicable tackle on Chevalier, they explain to me that one criterion out of the four is not met,” he was indignant on Monday at the microphone of RMC. This is the fact that the impact is below the malleolus. If the impact is above the malleolus, it is red. There, since it’s low, it’s not red. If Chevalier’s ankle is on the ground, it is a triple fracture of the malleolus and his ankle ends up in the port of Cap-d’Ail. »
Mr. Gautier and Mr. Delerue singled out
But in the eyes of the former midfielder, Clément Turpin is not the only culprit. “I speak with several referees and the first thing that comes to their minds is consistency-inconsistency, he confided. It’s consistent in some cases, inconsistent in other cases, and it’s mostly what we put in their heads. They don’t even know which foot to dance on anymore. That’s the fault of Mr. Delerue, the manager of the French referees, Mr. Gautier, the director of refereeing who we never hear, it’s Bernardo, and Mickaël Landreau, the sports advisor to the referees. »
“These three are here to give some perspective on the mistakes of the weekend. And then the referee comes out of there and comes back to prepare for his match while being completely off topic. He no longer knows what decision he must make.”he added again.
