“I’ve been in football for thirty years and I’ve been playing a rigged or even distorted game for thirty years.” It was a frustrated and annoyed Frédéric Antonetti who presented himself at a press conference after his team’s draw against Lyon (1-1) on Wednesday, December 22.
In question, the Metz coach felt aggrieved after a goal was refused to his team for an offside position that he contests. A decision he even judges “catastrophic” and that he places in the context of the match, played in Lyon. “When you come to Lyon, you have to know that there is terrible pressure on everyone, he continued. It’s the place I’ve been robbed the most in thirty years. “
While his team finished the year in a play-off position, Antonetti also made a point of recalling other facts, which occurred earlier in the season.
“That’s ten facts of the game that are contrary to us. I think of Lens, I think of Bordeaux, I think of Paris, has he listed. Each time, it is against us. We find ourselves 18th when we should not be there. We are missing points, sometimes because of our fault (…) and then we are missing points because of the football system, this circus football that annoys me.“
