Leipzig coach: At some point, the judge seemed more interested in having Neymar's autograph than in judging

At some point it seemed like the referee was more interested to have Neymar's autograph at the end of the match than to judge the match.” Jesse Marsch, the Leipzig coach, has vented all of his anger at Ecberg's arbitration after his tie to the SPG and has not used soft words, but direct accusations:

I'm serious, he said it's a great thing to have Mbappe, Neymar and Di Maria here in Leipzig, but let us play a normal game where everything goes according to rules”

The German coach had also appeared in the field, after about half an hour of play, when he was punished with a yellow card after protesting sharply against nonlinear management by the Swedish whistle, where the game was often interrupted and decisions were not always constant:

I was angry with the referee from the beginning, and Marsch explained after the match. I know big clubs, unlike the smaller ones, are respected. I can only get angry, otherwise it goes on ahead: it doesn't change anything, nor does it differ from the public whistles. The fourth orbit has the same attitude: I had two options. Either accept everything or get involved in the emotions of asking for more respect from referee”.

The result was 2-2, with the final penalty marked by Szoboszlai and accorded with the signaling of var, but here also Marsch has something to say: “If Var hadn't intervened, he would never give up. It was a visible penalty”, said Leipzig coach, whose Akberg arbitration did not like at all.
