Clément Turpin again at the whistle to arbitrate Nantes against Strasbourg
Already referee of the Canaries three times last season, Clément Turpin will be the man in black on Wednesday evening on the lawn of Meinau.
This is the third time in three seasons that the Rhodanien will referee confrontations between FC Nantes and Racing Club de Strasbourg. This was the case during the match at La Beaujoire last season, which ended in a draw with two goals everywhere. A red card was sent to Ludovic Ajorque during the match, which will not prevent the Strasbourg players from picking up the score in numerical inferiority.
Present during the 4-0 correction at La Beaujoire
Also in February 2021, he served as head referee when the Canaries were awarded the RCSA. In the midst of turmoil, FC Nantes, then already under the orders of Antoine Kombouaré, will undergo a severe correction from the Alsatians in a Beaujoire stadium behind closed doors (0-4). Five yellow cards were handed out during the game.
Last match to date at the whistle of the FCN, the victory against Bordeaux
It was during Nantes – Bordeaux that Clément Turpin made it official for the last time during a match for the Canaries. A match with a stunning scenario, since the Canaries, after being led in the score twice, had managed to overthrow the machine each time to win 5-3 in an electric atmosphere.
The only meeting he has refereed this season is that of the very large Parisian victory over Pierre Mauroy (7-1). Clément Turpin will only have released three small yellow cards.
This Wednesday, he will be assisted by Cyril Gringore and Nicolas Danos, as fourth referee enlisted by William Toulliou. Video assistance was entrusted to Willy Delajod and Marc Bollengier.
