Beaten by Reims (1-3) on Saturday on the 19th day of Ligue 1, Claude Puel lost his usual calm after the meeting. The AS Saint-Etienne coach did not support the arbitration decisions during the match.
“I am angry with all these facts of the game which have been systematically contrary. I am not used to talking about refereeing but here, I do not understand, launched the coach of ASSE, before detailing. On the penalty for Reims, Mathieu (Debuchy) cannot avoid it unless he cuts his arm. On the free kick whistled before the third goal in Reims, Mathieu takes an elbow in the mouth, he is bleeding and the referee could have returned to the images. We also have an opportunity by Mathieu who could have equalized but who is unbalanced in the box. “
Guilty on two of the three goals in Reims, Mathieu Debuchy also expressed his annoyance against refereeing. “They were 12 on the field, launched the right side of the Greens. We missed our match but the referee too.”
