Yohan Roche (28 years old) lashed out at “central” Horațiu Feșnic, after receiving two yellow cards in less than two minutes in Petrolul's away draw with Csikszereda, score 1-1.
Before Csikszereda was awarded a penalty in the 90th minute, Roche called a foul on himself in the run-up. Following the protests, he saw the yellow card from Horațiu Feșnic. Szabolcs Szalay took responsibility but sent the ball over the bar and the score remained 1-1.
The Beninese defender claims that he enjoyed the opponent's miss, at which point the “central” showed him the second “yellow” and eliminated him. At the flash-interview, Roche lashed out at Horațiu Feșnic.
Yohan Roche reacted vehemently to Horațiu Feșnic: “I sit and think what was in his mind”
“Honestly, I don't understand even now, I didn't understand why he gave me the second yellow card. I asked him why, he didn't answer me. I got a red card for nothing, from my perspective.
I celebrated the fact that they didn't score and he came to me and gave me a yellow card. He told me that I protested, but what did I protest for? That the opponents didn't score?
I didn't say anything to the referee, I didn't swear at him. I just don't understand! He gave me two yellow cards. I got the first one in the phase before the penalty, I asked him why he didn't give me a foul, and then he gave me the yellow card.
I don't understand why I was removed. I sit and think what was in his mind! I'll miss a game probably, I don't know, we'll see. I hope the suspension will be reversed, if the commission phase will be analyzed,” said Yohan Roche, on the “Digi Sport Special” show.
