Electric scene on Thursday night at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium! In the midst of LOSC’s collapse against PAOK (3-4), Olivier Létang literally lost his cool at halftime. Furious with referee Nikola Dabanovic, the Lille president saw red after a penalty was not awarded for a controversial foul by Kedziora on Fernandez-Pardo.
The LOSC boss, believing that Lille had been robbed, stormed into the corridor of the dressing rooms to confront the Montenegrin referee directly. And there was no question of stopping there: Létang brought out the heavy artillery.
Létang explodes at halftime
“I have already written to Mr. Ceferin. What happened tonight is incredible!” he exclaimed, according to footage from Canal+. He then added, furious: “Where is the delegate?”
Lille, trailing 0-2 at that moment, could have hoped to come back to 1-2… but VAR had other plans. And in the next action, PAOK scored to make it 0-3. Total explosion for the northern side.
Known for his outbursts, Létang has crossed a new line this time, sending a scathing email to Aleksander Ceferin, the head of UEFA, right after the match. Volcanic atmosphere in the North.
