Olympique Lyonnais: a remedy announced after the arbitration error at the derby

Michael Gerlinger, director of football at Eagle Football Group, revealed that OL would contest the decision to cancel the red card against ASSE. Olympique Lyonnais does not intend to remain silent following a new arbitration error he suffered in his lost match against ASSE (2-1), last Sunday in Ligue 1. The club will file an appeal, as announced by Michael Gerlinger, Director of Football at Eagle Football Group.

“It doesn’t help anyone if every Monday we talk about VAR errors or arbitration,” he told The Team. “There must be increased responsibility of the referees (…) I was in the VAR commission in Germany, there were guidelines on the number of images to show, the videos to use. It would have to be the same here.” Gerlinger added that Adjudicator Letexier had not seen what all viewers could observe.

OL will report to the competition committee responsible for the certification of matches.

** Tension rises between John Textor and Laurent Prud’homme after elimination in C1**

The trip to Manchester left traces for Olympique Lyonnais. The Gones were eliminated from the Champions League on a remontada signed by Harry Maguire, which did not fail to have an impact on their lost match against ASSE last Sunday.

But tensions did not stop there: according to RMC Sport, the tone went up between John Textor, owner of OL, and his general manager Laurent Prud’homme on Thursday night in Old Trafford. Textor allegedly denied Prud’homme access to the Lyons’ locker room, explaining that he had nothing to do with it.

The situation of Laurent Prud’homme is now uncertain and will be closely monitored in the coming days and weeks, according to RMC Sport."
