The Guingamp game
On Monday, FC Metz lost heavily to Guingamp (3-6) to finish the game eight-to-eleven. In total, the Grenats collected five red cards: Kiki Kouyaté, Alexandre Oukidja and Danley Jean Jacques during the match, Ibrahima Niane after the match and Kévin Lejeune (the Grenats team manager) just before half-time. Events that the Romanian technician has not yet digested.
“If we want to talk about sanctions, we have to talk about the match first … well, if we can call it a match,” he decides. “Because the lead actor didn’t learn the lines. When an actor goes on stage, he must know the words, the lines, the movements … he did not know anything. He kills the show. This is what happened, in my opinion, on Monday evening. “
The exclusion of Alexandre Oukidja distorts the match, distorts the result and can have many other consequences. He is a gentleman who arrived by chance on a football field … His behavior led to tensions in the game when everything was going well. “
Punishments
The LFP issued its verdict on Wednesday evening: Danley Jean Jacques (4 bouts), Kiki Kouyaté (3), Ibrahima Niane (2), Alexandre Oukidja (1). Decisions that Laszlo Bölöni “does not understand” necessarily.
“As for Danley Jean Jacques, he does what he did, we have all seen the images,” he explains. “In my eyes he could have been disqualified for two games because he is a young man who has just started, it’s the first time … We can do some pedagogy. But I also understand what the commission decided. We accept these four games. “
“On the other hand, I have a lot of problems understanding” the case of Alexandre Oukidja. When an experienced player suffers a three-game ban and, when he re-enters the field, he is sent off again, then he must be punished. No ? He has to take five games. But he only has one match. While he is a repeat offender. I don’t understand … There is no logic. I see only one explanation: he did nothing! The images also show that he did nothing. But we have to find an explanation for this actor who hasn’t learned the role of him. No, I don’t understand … “

On Kiki Kouyaté, the FC Metz coach goes even further: “I have read this gentleman’s report. He writes that Kouyaté approaches him five centimeters away, pointing and threatening him. However, from the images, it can be seen that he is not five centimeters away and that the referee is not threatened. Why does he write lies in his report? And, above all, why don’t we take them into account? These are still things I don’t understand … “
The exclusion of Ibrahima Niane
At the end of the match against Guingamp, the Senegalese striker let Gaillouste know his way of thinking. Which obviously the referee has not appreciated since he then brandished a new red card. “We talked about it with him. Let me be clear, he has no excuses, “said Laszlo Bölöni before explaining the reasons that led his player to behave like this:” he told me that it was the referee himself who sent him off last season. (vs Clermont, April 17) for a gesture (an involuntary blow to his opponent’s face) reminiscent of Alexandre Oukidja … He didn’t swallow this mistake and told the referee. Because he has seen the same scenario repeat itself. And he didn’t like him. “
The indiscipline of his team
“We knew before this Guingamp game that we were already taking too many cards,” admits the Romanian coach. “Cartoons we shouldn’t take like Fabien Centonze’s (excluded in Laval) : a player like him shouldn’t catch him. No more than Alexandre Oukidja (again in Laval) which puts us in great difficulty and which influences the result. “
“It’s a topic we talk about with the players,” assures the Messin coach. “For us the topic is important and now it’s about finding even better arguments. Outside of this game (Guingamp), I put it aside, we take too many boxes. It is the truth. It’s not alone here, but that doesn’t mean we should be wiser. “
