“We are taken for fools,” declared Eric Roy, the Brest coach, complaining about the refereeing of Mathieu Vernice after the defeat of his team on the field of Lyon (3-4), Sunday for the account of the 29th day of Ligue 1. “It’s a difficult evening but we have already experienced others this season. We have been battered a few times by unfavorable decisions but that’s football today,” said Roy, referring in particular to a non-whistled handball in the penalty area from Irishman Jake O’Brien in the 16th minute. . “The 4th referee tells us that there is no hand, we checked. If there’s not a hand hanging around, it was a real scoring opportunity,” he said.
Roy also does not “understand” the 2nd warning given to Pierre Lees-Melou (86th), synonymous with exclusion. “I thought the referees were there to protect the players. Tagliafico must be excluded and not Lees-Melou. Not only does he suffer the fault but then he is punished. We are experiencing some pretty extraordinary moments in football,” the Brest technician was surprised. “I nevertheless remember that we played a very good match but that at 3-1 we must be able to close the match. We should have maintained more lucidity and control. My group is generous but has difficulty managing emotions,” analyzed Roy.
