Jérôme Rothen Critiques Clément Turpin’s Refereeing Decisions

One of the notable moments from the recent Ligue 1 weekend occurred after the match between Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain. Many are questioning how referee Clément Turpin did not show a direct red card to Lamine Camara after his tackle on Lucas Chevalier’s ankle. On Monday, Antony Gautier, the director of refereeing, confirmed that the referee should have issued a red card.

Jérôme Rothen expressed his disbelief at Turpin’s decision. He stated, “Regarding Camara’s awful tackle on Chevalier, I’m told that one of the four criteria was not met. That’s because the impact was below the malleolus. If it were above the malleolus, it would be a red card. Since it was lower, it isn’t a red card. If Chevalier’s ankle had been on the ground, it would have resulted in a triple malleolar fracture and his ankle would end up in the port of Cap-d’Ail.” He made these remarks during an interview on RMC Sport.
