Since last Sunday and the defeat of France in the final of the World Cup against Argentina (3-3, 4-2 on pens), Emiliano Martinez has become the number one enemy of the French. But the referee of the meeting, the Pole Szymon Marciniak, has also been entitled to his share of criticism. Between the generous penalty awarded to Angel Di Maria and an arbitration deemed favorable to the Albicelestes, Marciniak was not spared. In its columns of Monday, December 19, The Team moreover, did not go out of its way to give it a 2/10 with the following comment.

“The Polish Szymon Marciniak, an experienced referee in the Champions League, was not up to the circumstances, at least in his mission. The penalty awarded to Angel Di Maria was very limited, not so far from the one he refused to Marcus Thuram, but the Polish VAR referee was not going to judge his compatriot in front of the whole world, and these are as much his other decisions that sparked anger and misunderstanding: how could Cristian Romero, author of several brutal fouls, end the match without warning? »

It’s looking for the little beast, we know that a drowning man catches a razor. There are serious newspapers and those looking for buzz. Friends, great referees of France, have written to me. The reception was great. Many professionals and footballers have sent us congratulations. Kylian Mbappé said we were great referees. We have reached the glass ceiling, but there are still things to do. » It is said !
