Bénin : Gernot Rohr pointe les horaires et l'arbitrage avant de défier le Sénégal

On the eve of the decisive match against Senegal, Benin's Cheetahs coach, Gernot Rohr, shared his thoughts on the tournament. From challenging logistics to technical observations about refereeing, the German coach highlighted the specific difficulties his team faces.

Gernot Rohr initially expressed some regret regarding the scheduling of matches, believing that the game times seemed to reflect a hierarchy within the competition. He explained that his team played its first two matches at 1:30 PM, a time slot he considers often reserved for nations deemed smaller, while the larger nations benefit from evening matches. The coach added that these timings, combined with the heat, make physical preparation and managing the intensity of the matches particularly challenging for his players.

The coach also highlighted a notable new feature of this edition: the increased presence of female referees. While Gernot Rohr welcomed the initiative as an excellent way to promote women's football and refereeing, he noted a significant difference in how duels are handled on the pitch. According to his analysis, even the slightest contact is penalized differently, and the game reading doesn't entirely align with the standards of male refereeing to which players are accustomed.

Despite these remarks, the Cheetahs remain fully focused on the essentials. After a period of recovery and treatment in Rabat, the team has resumed training in satisfactory conditions. Staying in a secluded hotel complex conducive to serenity and tranquility, Gernot Rohr and his men assure they are ready to tactically prepare for their match against the Lions of Senegal.

    Hier lors du match Algérie contre Mali, le jouer Algérien entre dans la surface de réparation, fait avancer le ballon et fonce sur le défenseur devant lui, ce dernier essaie de s'écarter mais n’y arrive pas, le jouer algérien tombe, l'arbitre siffle penalty. L’Africain est souvent incompétent ou malhonnête ou les 2 à la fois et à cause du mauvais Arbitrage et des triches, les meilleurs nations africaines du moment sont parfois écartés de la coupe du monde et c’est pourquoi on arrive pas à la gagner.
