A mea culpa on the form but not on the substance. Expelled by M. Letexier in the extension of the match between OM and Amiens Friday evening (2-2), for having strongly protested the penalty whistled for the Picards for a fault by Amavi on Guirassy at 2-0, between others, André Villas-Boas, who had it bad after seeing his team spoil two goals ahead in ten minutes against a relegation, partially regretted his outburst at a press conference.

- Univers Marseillais (@ UniversOM13) March 7, 2020“I apologize for this exchange of words with the referee (which earned him two yellow in a row and an exclusion, note). The penalty, I think it was a bad decision of the VAR, which did not do its job, I think that Guirassy's leg goes against Amavi's knee. If we have a millimeter VAR to say that Guirassy is not out of the game, we must have a call to the VAR to at least look at the image. After, it's my fault, we have control of the match at 2-0, if we don't have it, it's my responsibility, I'm the leader of this team, it's up to me to give peace and quiet. But we lost two points again at home. "
Like what, the Portuguese is like all coaches in the world. Charming when he wins and in bad faith when he loses. There was a fault with Amavi, who could moreover have been expelled well before that for a rude tackle in the first period, and the equalization of Ghoddos owed nothing to anyone. AVB will console itself all the same with the return of Florian Thauvin, well in leg when he entered the last quarter of an hour. OM will need their world champion to definitively validate their C1 ticket.
