Oscar Garcia after the defeat of Reims against Monaco: “The referee killed the match”
Oscar Garcia, coach of Reims, beaten 3-0 at home by Monaco, this Sunday, in Ligue 1 : “The referee killed the game. We showed a very nice face but in the end, playing ten for 75 minutes is always complicated. We spoke with the players before the game to tell them to control their emotions and they did it well. We spoke about it with the Monaco coach and he also said that it was not a red card. I don’t know why we didn’t use VAR. It’s not the first time, we have been penalized several times.
“Everyone calls me from Spain and asks me why there are so many red cards. It is not normal… “
In my opinion, they (the referees) charge us something, but I don’t know what. We can’t do anything, they have all the powers. In another country, you can talk with the referee. Here, you take a yellow card just to speak, without insulting. But it’s up to me to adapt. Everyone calls me from Spain and asks me why there are so many red cards. It’s not normal… I’m sorry for the players, the referee messed with their job and with their work. Akliouche’s action is more dangerous than our red card because he goes with the cleats on our goalkeeper and hurts his hand. »
