LOSC coach Paulo Fonseca was expelled at the very end of the match against Brest.
Paulo Fonseca, coach of Lille, winner 2-1 against Brest during the 25th day of Ligue 1, Friday:
«It was very important to win today. It was hard, very hard, because we conceded a goal from the start of the match from a corner, and afterwards we had problems because the other team defended very low, it was very difficult for us. . But I think we deserve to win because only one team wanted to win today.
(On the tensions that earned him a red card) It’s a normal situation in these kinds of matches. I have to say one thing: I respect the other team a lot, and I have nothing against what Brest came to do. I understand that they came to defend, that they are trying to buy time. What I fail to understand, and I must repeat that the quality of referees in France is very good, is that today we had only one minute of added time in the first half, and we had the example at the World Cup of matches with ten minutes of added time. The referees should help us. People pay tickets to see a show, we want to be part of this show but everyone should help. And what we saw today does not help promote Ligue 1. Today the referees were not having a good day.»
