OM counterattacks in the aftermath of its elimination from the French Cup by LOSC. By denouncing the attitude of Olivier Létang.
The atmosphere was electric on Tuesday evening at the Vélodrome, during the
16e French Cup final between OM and LOSC. If the Lille had the last word for shots on goal (3-4), the Marseillais were able to equalize in additional time thanks to a cannon shot by Luis Enrique (1-1, 90e+6).
A goal that caused many tensions on the edge of the field.
In the wake of the celebrations, Mr. Turpin saw red against Medhi Benatia, the new director of OM football. This for words at the fourth referee, Mr. Stinat. A sequence deplored by the main interested party, after the fact, on the antenna of BeIN Sports: ” We mark, I will see the fourth referee to tell him that there was a penalty. By the way, I remove my coach who is arguing with Olivier Létang. I come back to see the fourth referee who tells me that I threatened it with my finger. What I live is serious. (..)
Why don’t I have the right to speak and defend my team? There is a relentlessness, I no longer have the right to speak! “”
“A fair and coherent treatment” claimed
Since the start of the season, the Marseille leadership considers that it has not been housed in the same brand as competition with the refereeing body and the French football bodies. The club therefore split a statement this Wednesday to relay the images of the famous Bec between Medhi Benatia and Mr. Stinat, in parallel with an altercation a few moments earlier between the same official and the president of LOSC Olivier Létang, hardly worried about it.
“” Anxious to bring the greatest transparency on the moments who followed the equalizing goal of Luis Henrique last night, and having led to the exclusion of its director of football, Medhi Benatia, Olympique de Marseille decided to broadcast the sequence. Our game, our sport, our club, our supporters, our city deserve fair and coherent treatment “, Proclaims am.
