Special envoy to Athens
Usually reluctant to complain or express his dissatisfaction with refereeing decisions, Antoine Griezmann showed annoyance on Tuesday evening in Athens, after the final whistle of the match against Greece (2-2). Aware of his team's gap in the second half, with two goals conceded against the Greeks, the captain of the evening (Mbappé started on the bench) especially did not appreciate the referee's decision not to accept the goal on the last shot deflected from Coman who seemed to have crossed the line (90 4). Official broadcaster of the match, TF1 ensures, after viewing different angles, that the ball had entered the Greek goal.
"The goal-line technology was missing, UEFA has a lot of money and they have to put everything in order so that we know if there is a goal or not", rails "Grizou" on a fact of play which does not guarantee the Blues victory and especially first place in the Fifa rankings. In the event of Argentina's victory against Brazil next night, in qualifying for the 2026 World Cup in the South America zone, the French team will end the year behind the reigning world champions. Griezmann knows it and cannot digest it. “If they (UEFA) want us to play more matches, we also ask them for more technology,” he admits, quickly followed by his coach.
“We are at international level, there is no qualification at stake (the Blues were already there before the match and Greece, 3rd, assured of the play-off, Editor's note) but that could have been the case, says Didier Deschamps . Having a pitch without a goal line (technology) is inconsistent with high-level requirements. The referees suffer, but they are 95% sure that it is in it.
And the boss of the Blues continued: “That has no impact, we could have had a match won, with a full card and guaranteed to be first in the world ranking… But it is not the Var which scored two goals either. We had a 10-minute absence (in the second half). It’s a gaming incident, because of the stakes, the new technologies are there for that, it’s surprising to say the least that we’re witnessing such a situation.”
Same story in the mixed zone after the meeting in Athens. Between incomprehension and annoyance. “On the action, I was a little far away,” admits William Saliba. But at the end of the match, I was shown the images. There is no photo, the ball has completely crossed the line. We could have won this match.
“I just saw the photo, in modern football, these are details that should not happen,” complains Lucas Hernandez. This must not happen again in the future. Fortunately it was not a decisive match for qualification. Same story with Brice Samba: “I don’t want to get into the controversy, but I don’t understand how a match of this level takes place without this technology.”
