ASM requests an explanation from the technical refereeing department on Willy Delajode’s decisions during Marseille-Monaco (2-2). Said Angemi, a former international referee, analyzes the controversial rulings and understands the Monegasque’s anger.
If the chance missed by Vitinha in 94 caused much discussion from the final whistle, other aspects of this Marseille-Monaco (2-2) have also been talked about. Mainly, a red card was addressed to Guillermo Maripan (11th minute) and a yellow card to Imran Soglo (76th minute) for a sole on the Monegasque’s knee. These decisions, taken by Willy Delajode, angered the Monegasque General Staff. As soon as the match ended, coach Adi Hüter and general manager Thiago Scurro announced it in front of the cameras. Cold, ex-international referee Saeed Engemi deciphers.
Maripan red? “Extremely serious” according to Engimy.
If he was unable to lead his team to victory, Vitinha sent off Guillermo Maripan in the eleventh minute thanks to Chile’s appeal at the back. “Extremely serious” decision for Said Engimi. “I see contact on the hand and then Marseilles itself against Monegasque, observes the current president of the Nouvel-Aquitaine Football League. Even if a foul can be whistled, a yellow card is enough. I don’t. I don’t feel that A goal action is being destroyed, a Monegasque (Kehrer) is on the same line. In my opinion the red is completely irrelevant. La Vare should ask the referee to go back on his decision.”
“Once again, the video must intervene” after Imran Soglo’s intervention.
Another action that caused incomprehensibility in the Monegasque was Emran Soglo’s intervention on Kassoum Ouattara in the second period. If Marseilles takes the ball early, his sole crashes into the Monegasque’s kneecap. “I think we have to wear red,” comments Angimi. “I think the match was quite sloppy and involved. In this regard, red is already in discussion, we have to find a balance. We should increase its severity. Exclude referee and player. Certainly he doesn’t want to attack his opponent but he still steps on his knees, it’s extremely dangerous. I would have put on a red and, once again, the video must have intervened.” Very aggressive with the man in black, Denis Zakaria picked up the first of these two yellow cards in this position. A few minutes later he received a second caution and was 11 against the red and white. 9 left.
For Engimy, Willy Delajode “must keep his cool”
The meeting between two contenders for Europe in search of a rebound was the height of tension at a velodrome in turmoil. According to Said Angemi, Willy Delajod let himself get away with this shock: “He was very angry. He should have kept his cool, we see him shouting at the players. In matches like this, which are a bit tense, you have unbelievable calmness. It has to be shown because players climb the tower very easily. It’s a very high-stakes match and that didn’t help calm the general context.” According to our information, ASM will write to the Technical Arbitration Department this Monday to express its displeasure.
