Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic gets away with insulting Ligue 1 referees because he does so in English or Italian, Lyon coach Hubert Fournier has claimed.
Fournier has warned Clement Turpin, the official for Sunday's top-of-the-table clash at Stade de Gerland to be on guard for Ibrahimovic's multilingual dissent.
"All the referees in this league get insulted by this person," he told reporters.
"The referees are not bilingual or trilingual, so they don't understand. In a way, it's better to speak Italian or English to insult referees."
"The person who is going to be most provoked is Mr Turpin," Fournier added. "I don't want my team to provoke, I don't want us to insult the officials. I hope we remember not to fall for Zlatan's provocations."
League leaders Lyon are currently two points clear of second-placed Marseille and defending champions PSG.
