PSG: Valérie Pécresse demands sanctions against Idrissa Gueye after his refusal to play during the day against homophobia


Voices continue to rise against Idrissa Gueye. Two days after the refusal of the PSG midfielder to play during the day against homophobia, Valérie Pécresse, president of the Ile-de-France region, demanded sanctions against the Senegalese international.

When the club moved from the capital on Saturday to Montpellier (0-4), Idrissa Gueye was not present on the score sheet. An absence which challenged, while his coach Mauricio Pochettino indicated at the end of the match that he was not injured. “For personal reasons he had to leave the match sheet,” said the Parisian coach without saying more.

But the player simply would not have liked to wear the jersey with rainbow flocking symbolizing the day of the fight against homophobia by religious conviction, according to Le Parisien. An attitude deplored by Valérie Pécresse. “The players of a football club, and those of PSG in particular, are figures of identification for our young people. They have a duty to set an example. A refusal by Idrissa Gana Gueye to join the fight against homophobia could not remain without sanction! still made no comment on this matter.

Several associations fighting against homophobia have also asked for an explanation of the reasons for the absence of the former Lille player, who had already missed this day last season officially due to gastroenteritis. This is the case of “Rouge Direct” which recalled that “homophobia is not an opinion but a crime”. And to add: “The LFP and the PSG must ask Idrissa Gana Gueye to explain himself and very quickly. And punish him if necessary.
