Lyon coach Hubert Fournier has spiced up the clash against PSG this weekend by accusing striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic of insulting French referees in English and Italian.
Fournier launched the attack at his press conference earlier today: "All the referees in this league get insulted by this person. Apparently, the referees are not bilingual or trilingual, so they don't understand."
He added: "In a way, it's better to speak Italian or English to insult referees."
Fournier was rabbiting on in this manner in the hope that it would serve as a warning to referee Clement Turpin.
"The person who is going to be most provoked is Mr Turpin," the Lyon coach continued.
"I don't want my team to provoke, I don't want us to insult the officials. I hope we remember not to fall for Zlatan’s provocations."
A footballer who attracts headlines, Ibrahimovic was in the news earlier today when Marseille defender Rod Fanni told newspaper Le Parisien that he wanted to punch him.
It's lonely at the top.
