Rare but very real image: a coach returns to a press conference - after having left it - to correct his speech and admit his error in judgment.
The subject: the red card inherited from Cheick Doucouré in the 60th minute of Monaco-Lens (0-2).
On a slipped tackle that touched Krépin Diatta's ankle, the Malian was expelled directly by Mr. Pignard, without consulting the video.
“I have not seen all the images again, but the red seems severe to me,” said Franck Haise first.

Then, while the journalists await the arrival of the Monegasque technician Niko Kovac, Haise stealthily climbs back to the desk.
This time to completely change his words.
“I saw other images again, nothing to say… It's a logical red.
A beautiful attitude, faithful to the image of the coach who is unanimous on his sidelines ... and now also in the press room.
