The coach of the Metz team, Ladislau Bölöni, denounced the refereeing after his players lost, Saturday evening, score 2-3, against those from Rennes, in the 32nd stage of the French championship.
FC Metz players, beaten after leading 2-1, vehemently contested the penalty awarded to Rennes by referee Ruddy Buquet for Ismaël Traoré’s light touch on Arnaud Kalimuendo, which allowed Benjamin Bourigeaud to equalize (71′). They then protested when Georges Mikautadze was eliminated for pushing Kalimuendo (90+5).
“The referee made a bad decision (penalty awarded – no.). This changes the result. The icing on the cake is the elimination of Mikautadze. I don’t know whether to scream, cry or laugh. If I tell you what I have in mind, I will be called before the Disciplinary Commission. Some people have more rights than others. Some decisions are incomprehensible. If we have VAR, let’s use it… He didn’t take that into account,” said Ladislau Bölöni in the press conference after the match.
“Today, we are nervous, sad, we don’t understand how something like this can happen in Ligue 1, we will take sleeping pills for two days and then we will get up,” added the technician.
