Zapping Our Mondial CAN 2021: The strengths and weaknesses of Mali seen by Cédric Kanté for Onze Mondial
This Sunday, Crystal Palace believed they could achieve a great feat against Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp’s men had certainly managed to take a clear advantage in their trip to London thanks to Van Dijk then Oxlade Chamberlain, but Edouard managed to bring his team back to 1-2 for pressure in the last half hour.
Except that at the height of Palace’s hopes, Liverpool obtained a penalty following a far from obvious foul on Diogo Jota, who was quick to add more. Result, the Reds scored in the 89th and Crystal Palace lost all hope of a comeback. What cause the big frustration of Patrick Vieira.
Vieira gets annoyed after a whistled penalty
After the encounter, the French manager tackled Diogo Jota, the referees and the VAR following this decision. “He (Jota) was really smart, the referee was naive and the VAR was naive. There was no way he would get the ball back to score. I don’t even want to talk about it. We had meetings with referees and they explained that if there was harmless contact, there would be no penalties. I’m looking at every angle and I don’t understand how this one could have been whistled. It took away all hope of getting back into the game and getting a point. It was a very bad decision on the part of the referee and the VAR, ”said Vieira, annoyed.
to summarize
Patrick Vieira, manager of Crystal Palace, did not hide his anger after the defeat of his troops against Liverpool (1-3). It must be said that the end of the match took a turn that the French manager would have liked to avoid.
