The National Council of Ethics (CNE) of the French Football Federation has decided to seize the Disciplinary Committee of the League about the remarks of Marco Verratti after Nantes-PSG (3-1) on Saturday evening. Exasperated by the defeat of his team and the arbitration of Mr. Lesage, the Italian midfielder had harsh words: “How is it possible to take ten yellow cards (6 in fact) ? We can’t even talk to the referee, we can’t do anything. He’s the only referee in the world you can’t do that with. On Mbappé, it’s a penalty, it’s a yellow card, so red. How is it possible not to give a yellow card? You have to take responsibility because sometimes you get shit on by the referees.Verratti had declared at the microphone of Canal +.
For this outing, the Italian international will therefore go before the disciplinary committee and risk a sanction. On the other hand, for Leonardo, the sports director of PSG, who also had made comments on the arbitration of Mr. Lesage, the CNE did not seize the disciplinary committee of the League.
