Endrick shines in Lyon’s victory but receives criticism from Hakimi for dancing at the Parc des Princes

Lyon’s victory over Paris Saint-Germain in Príncipes’s Parque, valid for Campeonato Francês, ended with a focus of external tension on the final score. Right-back Achraf Hakimi publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the attitude of Brazilian striker Endrick, who scored one of the goals in the visiting team’s 2-1 triumph. The trigger for the complaint was the 19-year-old’s celebration, who danced in front of the Parisian fans after opening the scoring last Sunday.

Hakimi looked for his opponent while he was still on the pitch to question his behavior. The Moroccan’s irritation extended to interviews in the mixed zone, where he detailed the reasons for the harsh conversation. The defender argued that such acts are unnecessary and disrespectful to the local public. Para the full-back, the Brazilian’s focus should remain strictly on technical performance, avoiding provocations that transcend the common sporting dispute.

Declarações of Hakimi on the conduct of Endrick

The PSG player didn’t mince words when evaluating the attitude of Lyon’s young talent. In an interview with French radio RMC, Hakimi emphasized that the discomfort arose due to the direction given to the celebratory gestures. Ele explained that his intention was to maintain his own team’s concentration while trying to stop what he considered a gratuitous provocation to the home fans.

The full-back reinforced that he respects the striker’s technical quality, but sees the celebrations as a harmful element of distraction. “He should focus on football, mainly because he is a good player,” said the Moroccan. Hakimi admitted that the emotional state of the game influenced his reaction, as PSG were looking to recover the score at the time of the incident. The defender reiterated that situations unrelated to the dynamics of the ball tend to cause deep irritation in high-level athletes.
