This Friday evening, it was not on the ground that one had to expect the show during the match between Lille and Metz. The meeting was especially marked by the violent altercation between Frédéric Antonetti and Sylvain Armand, technical director of LOSC. At the microphone of Prime Video, the former PSG player gave his version of the facts. “I went down indeed. There were exchanges between me and Antonetti. He is someone that I really appreciate in his way of doing things. There were words between us, but no insults between us, even from him. Then there are images where we see him coming towards me, touching me and pushing me. We both have egos. Basically, I did not come to speak to him, nor to speak to the Messin bench. Today I have nothing to reproach myself for, I did not touch or insult him and the images show it.
For his part, Frédéric Antonetti, very upset in a press conference after the match, seemed to make a small mea culpa this Saturday. “My reaction is harsh, but what do I have to defend myself? (…) On the bottom, I am right, on the form, I was wrong, they are not beautiful images. But what do I have to defend myself?he explained at the microphone of Prime Video.
