The meeting between Sochaux and Paris FC, Monday evening in Ligue 2, was marked by a heated altercation between Thierry Laurey and his player Julien Lopez.
At the end of the 1st day of Ligue 2, the Paris FC et Sochaux separated with a goalless draw (0-0) on Monday evening at the Bonal stadium. A meeting during which the Parisians nevertheless finished nine after the expulsions of Cyril Paul Mandouki (37th) and Julien Lopez (90th + 1).
And this red card collected at the very end of the match by the brother of Maxime Lopez knocked Thierry Laurey out of his hinges. As he left the field to return to the locker room, the Franco-Algerian was pushed manly by his coach. What did not please the 30-year-old winger, who took a bottle of water with the desire to throw it in the direction of the ex-Strasbourg coach before changing his mind and throwing it violently at the floor. All while dropping a few bird’s eye words.

“It was hanging in his face”
“I don’t need to talk about that again (with Lopez), he searched, he foundconfided Thierry Laurey at the end of the match at the microphone of beIN Sports. I had asked before the match that we be respectful of the referee, the game, the opponents… We can take cards, it can happen, in a duel… As much as an unfortunate tackle I can tolerate, it can happen, but when you have been warned and you have already been given a yellow, stop. I have nothing against Julien, that’s not the problem, but I’ve already told him, for a year now I’ve been telling him, I’ve been telling him. It was hanging in his face. He got caught by the patrol. Too bad for him. It’s up to him to be more vigilant and also show that he will do everything to be forgiven, because he left his teammates at nine. »
