“The penalty should have been whistled”, “we should have 6 points”: Frustration in Marseille

It is an immense feeling of frustration that inhabited the OM players after the draw conceded against Galatasaray (0-0). Firstly because they dominated the second half and, at points, there is no picture between Turks cornered on their goal and conquering Marseillais. But it was not enough. At the heart of Phocean lamentations, this damn 79th minute. While Mattéo Guendouzi collapsed in the area after contacting his back with Patrick van Aanholt, the referee immediately designated the penalty spot. Invited by his assistants in the headset to view the image, he hesitates a lot, almost four minutes anyway, before canceling his decision.

On the lawn, Guendouzi went into black anger. But nothing worked. No penalty or victory for OM. The Marseille environment had still not digested after the meeting. ” He does not touch the ball, he unbalances me. Clearly, there is a penalty, no need to check the images. do not understand “, railed Guendouzi on Canal Plus. However, on closer inspection, it is difficult to be sure. If the contact does take place in the Turkish area, is it enough to cause a penalty? No doubt for William Saliba, the phlegmatic defender of OM: ” The penalty should have been whistled, judged the former Stéphanois. We are frustrated. We should have won. “

We should have six points

This is the whole problem of this decision which prevents OM from really launching their European season after an even more annoying draw conceded to Moscow against Lokomotiv on Matchday 1. “ We should have six points tonight for what we did in the first two matches , noted Jorge Sampaoli at a press conference. We were very superior to Lokomotiv and again this evening. But football is like that. The matches have shown that we are clearly superior to these two opponents . ” He is right. In view of the 180 minutes of his men who dominated Muscovites and Stambouliotes without possible discussion, the Marseillais deserve better than the two points and third place in their group.

But the Argentine coach did not want to fuel the controversy: “ On the penalty spot, the referee is very close and whistles. Then the VAR intervenes. I don’t like to talk about that, I prefer to talk about what is happening on the pitch . ” The Argentinian volcanic did not add any unlike its president Pablo Longoria, rather vehement towards the referee body at the final whistle. After an idyllic start to the season, the loss to Lens combined with the failed debuts in Europe raised the tension a notch in Marseille.
