Atletico Madrid's coach made a scandal in the extensions of the match on Anfield Road, with Liverpool (2-3) and was eliminated with “red” directly.
The incident spent immediately after the 3-2 goal, scored by Virgil Van Dijk. Atletico's coach, Diego Simeone, lost his temper and had an uncontrolled output, taking a map with a supporter of Liverpool who insults him.
Diego Simeone faces the fan that offended the whole match
Simeone had to be immobilized by a few members of his staff, but also by four stewards, and the Italian referee Maurizio Mariani eliminated Simeone with a red card. Following what happened, the former Spanish referee Eduardo Iturralde Gonzalez (1995 – 2012), revealed in the show “El Larguero” the possible sanction that the Argentine technician could receive.
Former Spanish referee: “Simeone risks a fine of 20,000 euros and a suspension of a stage, but in standby”
“Most likely, Simeone will receive a fine of 20,000 euros and a suspension of a standby match. What does that mean?
He also reminded Hansi Flick's case in Barcelona: “It's about what happened to Flick. Against Borussiei Dortmund, he was suspended for a match. Barcelona also appealed and put him on waiting.”
Diego Simeone: “My insult reaction is not justified, but you do not know how to be insulted non-stop for 90 minutes”
In front of the cameras of the Movistar post, Diego Simeone explained how to reach the incident in the extension of the match. “The whole match insults you from the stands, and you can not say anything because you are the coach. My insult reaction is not justified, but you do not know how to be insulted non-stop for 90 minutes,” said Atlético de Madrid coach.
“We are in a situation where we do not have the right to react. It is not correct. But, in the same way we fight against racism and insults, we have to look at what is happening behind the banks. It is not easy to receive the whole match. A fan insulted the whole match.
I returned to 3-2 and the insults continued with a gesture, and well, I'm a man. I will not go into details about which the insults were. I will not go into details about it. I have this position and, until the society does not solve it, I have to live with it, ”said the Argentine.
