As Paris Saint-Germain prepares to host the OGC Nice this Friday at the Parc des Princes as part of the 31st day of Ligue 1, a controversial designation: Willy Delajod will be at the whistle of this meeting. A choice that does not go unnoticed, so the referee is at the heart of the news. The tension surrounding this designation stems from a recent incident: during the derby between Saint-Étienne and Lyon, Willy Delajod acted as a video referee. He had then advised François Letexier to review an action deemed dangerous by Lucas Stassin on Corentin Tolisso. As a result, the red card originally released was cancelled… a highly criticized decision. The Technical Directorate of Arbitration did not validate this intervention of the VAR, considering that red should have been maintained. Direct consequence: Letexier was put to rest this weekend. But not Delajod, designated for PSG-Nice. A choice that questions This decision does not fail to react, some seeing it as a form of inconsistency. Why rest the central referee and not the VAR referee? And above all, why hand over a high-level poster to a man at the centre of such a controversy? The PSG, often critical of certain decisions this season, will probably keep an eye on the arbitral body.
