Foot PSG – PSG and Neymar spared, Monaco contacts the FFF
Beaten at home by Troyes (4-2) Wednesday in Ligue 1, AS Monaco does not digest certain arbitration decisions. The Principality club believes that not all teams are refereed in the same way. A letter has therefore been sent to the French Football Federation.
Three days after the draw won at the Parc des Princes (1-1), AS Monaco did not confirm. Philippe Clément’s men lost at home against Troyes, in particular because of certain facts of the game. We mainly think of the penalty whistled after a slight fault by Guillermo Maripan, warned on this action then excluded following a second yellow card returned. What angered sports director Paul Mitchell, convinced that not all teams are refereed in the same way.
Special treatment for PSG?
” To be completely honest, I’m upset about a lot of things tonight, and more specifically some decisions.the leader was annoyed after the match. It’s getting too recurring. We feel like we had to deal with a lot of rejected decisions. Two red cards in the last four games, the two up for debate, a decisive penalty against us… All I ask is that everyone is refereed in the same way. “Starting with Paris Saint-Germain…
” If the right decision is to send off a player guilty of a slight contact by raising his arm, then what about Neymar who, on Sunday evening in Paris, went there with his elbow forward on one of our players? It lacks consistency and that’s all we ask for: fairness and consistency in decisionsdemanded the Englishman before slipping advice to the men in black. (…) The referees must take the necessary time before taking decisions which change the course of a match. An instruction may be added in the letter that AS Monaco sent to the French Football Federation concerning arbitration.

” We contacted the Federation through a letter last week, we also said in a press conference that we are open to discussion. Some of us are former players, others have been involved in football for a very long time and I’m sure we can do our bit. (…) I have been in football long enough to know that the referees’ job is difficult. But, for the good of the championship and of all the teams including ours, we need consistency “, insisted Paul Mitchell, far from being the first leader to make this speech.
