This is called a crack, a real one.
Frustrated by the result (2-1 defeat) and annoyed by insults coming down from the stands, Auxerre coach Jean-Marc Furlan was sent off in added time for having given the middle fingers to the public on Sunday at Clermont.
“I went to see the referee because I considered that there was no fault and the public insulted me.
And I made the fingers of honor and suddenly he expelled me, ”explained Furlan in a press conference.
Then the technician put it back on leaving the lawn.
"No desire" to apologize
A distressing attitude, but one that Furlan does not regret.
Still annoyed at the time of presenting himself to the journalists after the meeting, he curtly took over one of them.
" You do not know me ?
If you knew me, you would see that I have no brain.
You have to know, I'm quite violent in my behavior when it's for football, "he vituperated.
Before ensuring that he did not regret “not at all” his gesture.
"I didn't go to the referee to apologize and I don't want to," he added.
The Auxerrois coach, whose team is stuck in 16th place in Ligue 1 after a series of six games without a win, knows he risks a heavy suspension.
Between two and ten games, according to the scale of the Disciplinary Committee of the League.
Not a problem according to him.
"In rugby, the coach is in the stands and it's better to analyze the matches and make the changes," he explained.
Whatever the penalty, it doesn't matter.
The sanction will certainly be very heavy but the work, you do it during the week and not on the sidelines.
Because you can scream all you want, if there are 8,000 people, no one can hear you.
