Jérôme Rothen Criticizes Matthieu Louis-Jean’s Performance

After the intense match on the 12th day of Ligue 1 between Olympique Lyonnais and Paris Saint-Germain (2-3), Lyon’s players expressed their frustration with referee M. Bastien. One of the most vocal critics was Lyon’s sporting director, Matthieu Louis-Jean. Jérôme Rothen, however, found this behavior irritating.

“When I see what happened in the Lyon match, I think of Matthieu Louis-Jean, the sporting director of Lyon. I blame the management for this. He is the sporting director, for goodness’ sake. Talk about a good performance instead of focusing on the refereeing. We don’t need you to tell us ‘we were cheated.’ We know that; we saw it. Discuss what happened in recruitment, the promising youth players. Talk about Moreira, who is surprising, and Morton, who is performing well. This Lyon team, at times resembling a Youth League squad, challenged PSG. Let’s hear about that instead of the refereeing errors; we’ve all seen them,” he stated on RMC.
