  • The Strasbourg people bowed heavily (3-0) on Saturday against OL, the new provisional leader of Ligue 1.

  • This defeat was precipitated by the expulsion of Adrien Thomasson, who allegedly attacked Amaury Delerue from the 15th minute of play.

  • Combined with the non-exclusion of Marcelo for a rude hand, this fact of play resulted in a (new) show from Alsatian coach Thierry Laurey after the meeting.

At Parc OL,

For Thierry Laurey, there was "nothing dishonorable" in this large defeat (3-0) of his team, Saturday at Parc OL.

And for good reason, when we saw Racing being led by two goals by the new provisional leader of Ligue 1, and 10 against 11, after half an hour of play, we admit to having thought of a bigger debacle.

The turning point of this meeting was obviously the expulsion of Adrien Thomasson from the 15th minute of play.

"The storm at the start of the match had passed and there was a lot of space to put them in difficulty," said Strasbourg midfielder Sanjin Prcic.

But unfortunately we took the red card at that time.

Afterwards, even if we fought, it's not the same game anymore.

"Difficult to prove him wrong, as the waves of Lyon in the first period followed this fact of play.

Here in the duel with Memphis Depay, Adrien Thomasson spent only 15 minutes on the lawn of the Parc OL on Saturday.

"A player pulverized the linesman"

And if Sanjin Prcic was careful not to comment on the decision of Amaury Delerue (the man who does not give additional time despite nine changes of players on Saturday), his coach had a great time during his conference. hurry.

First soft “development” by Thierry Laurey: “There are ten of us in a rather stupid way.

These are things that can happen.

Unfortunately, I think the referee pulled out the second yellow card a bit quickly ”.

The emblematic Racing coach then rose to power when a journalist asked him if Adrien Thomasson had been reproached for an insult by the match referee, just after a charge on Thiago Mendes synonymous with the first warning.

Bah, have you seen him take a tackle in the meantime?

So these are necessarily words.

FYI, there is a player from a great French team who came to Strasbourg this year who pulverized the linesman, with insult after insult.

He didn't even take a yellow card, we didn't even notice him.

We have a player who said a wrong word and who takes a red card.

I'm not saying he did something right, but after a quarter of an hour of play, you [Amaury Delerue in this case] can have a little more calm and control.

"

"I'm going to go home to make myself a little beer"

Thierry Laurey was especially up against the decision of the referee not to give a card to the Lyon defender Marcelo, author of a rude hand against Habib Diallo (50th), after having already been warned in the first period.

Amaury Delerue did not even return to the fault, explaining to the Strasbourg coach (while sending him a yellow card) that he had offered “an advantage” to Diallo by not whistling.

An advantage which therefore led to a desperate strike of 30 meters in the south turn ...

“His hand is totally voluntary, and if Marcelo is sent off at that point, it's not the same story.

I'm not saying we're going to win, don't worry.

I'm just saying that it restores equality and that maybe we can see something else.

If the referee thinks he should send my player off, there is no problem.

But on the other hand, he must expel Marcelo then.

Because there are two weights, two measures.

I'm not going to make a big deal about refereeing, but we want to be refereed the same way.

"

Hot boiling in front of the microphones, Thierry Laurey concludes with his usual authenticity: "I'm not going to complain, I took 3-0 today, I'm going to go home to calm down, make myself a little quiet beer, and we will go back to war next week ”.
