Coming to the game against Les Parisiens, he wore a cap with Argentine flag on it.

"I blame Martinez for going too far. Enough is enough. I'm the first to accept that teasing is part of football and life in general, but it shouldn't constantly descend into denigration, it shouldn't be disrespectful, it shouldn't descend into harassment," Petit told Rothen s'enflamme.

He added:

"We have the impression that in every match, we expect something out of bounds from him… I think he's a very good goalkeeper, and he doesn't need to give himself extreme motivation. But everywhere he goes, he leaves an exasperating image of his behaviour."

"He recently said in an interview that he never goes too far… The boy needs to undergo psychotherapy to see a psychiatrist because we don't have the same definition of what is out of bounds. This guy, frankly, needs to learn to control himself emotionally," Petit lamented.
