Foot OL – OL: Anthony Lopes and if he was the real victim? – Olympique Lyonnais

For two days, Anthony Lopes has been the target of many criticisms because of his dangerous exit on Romain Thomas in Angers.

As a reminder, the Portuguese was forced to manage a delicate air intervention from the second minute of play in Angers, Sunday afternoon. And the controversy ignited, insofar as the Portuguese left the knee forward and violently collided with Romain Thomas, who has kept sacred marks of this intervention. At the microphone of RMC, the two men had the opportunity to exchange and Anthony Lopes was clearly heard as the culprit in this story. But for the world champion Lionel Charbonnier, it is too easy to hit on Anthony Lopes, who also takes risks for his physical integrity and can suffer faults in this kind of situation according to him.

“He’s a great goalkeeper but he would benefit from channeling his energy. When we go out like that, we lose momentum. If I were to be his coach, I would ask him to pay attention to this aspect. By force, he will not escape the crime of ugly mouth. The referee was right not to whistle because it was the Angevin who made the fault first. When the ball is in the air he has to stop, and we can clearly see him looking towards Lopes. On the other hand, at the end of the action, the referee can give a yellow or even a red to the Lyon goalkeeper for dangerous play. Look at the action on Mbappé, for me, it is the Parisian who is at fault, continues Charbonnier. He knows very well that he will not have the ball but he goes for it anyway. At this speed, it is not forgiving. One day it can hurt a lot. It’s part of the job, recalls the person concerned. At the time, I hadn’t complained. If today, a goalkeeper can no longer jump in his six meters. It will be complicated ” judged the former goalkeeper of AJA and the Blues in the columns of Parisian. A speech that should please Anthony Lopes, particularly heckled in recent hours.
