Loïc Perrin’s fault on Kylian Mbappé continues to spill ink. This Wednesday, the captain of the Greens is defended by an OL defender.

It is not yet known if the final of the Coupe de France will be the last match played by Loïc Perrin, but anyway the player of AS Saint-Etienne will remain the unfortunate hero of this meeting between the Greens and the PSG. After a failed tackle on Kylian Mbappé, the ASSE captain sent the Paris and Blues forward to the hospital wing for three weeks. In other words, Loïc Perrin has alienated the entire community of Parisian supporters, who keep calling the Stéphanois player of all names after this gesture which earned him an expulsion. Loïc Perrin has left for a few days off with his family and has not spoken since that final lost by AS Saint-Etienne.

But on Wednesday, the ASSE defender will probably appreciate Marcelo’s words in Le Progrès. ” You have to show commitment by playing honestly. We must always try to touch the ball. Sometimes we want the ball and it doesn’t work… Football is like that. It’s a serious injury for Kylian Mbappé, but Loïc Perrin didn’t do it on purpose. He tried to touch the ball. It could pass … “, Explains the Brazilian player of Olympique Lyonnais, who believes that his Saint Etienne counterpart can not be destroyed just by this one action. Marcelo therefore clears Loïc Perrin for this failed tackle on Kylian Mbappé.
