David Luiz He is not new to having to leave a pitch early. In fact, since making his Premier debut for Arsenal in August 2019, is the player who has given the most penalties to the rival (6) and to whom the most red cards have been shown (3). However, yesterday’s against Wolves, in which not only makes no intention of touching Willian José Rather, the casual contact does not even seem to be enough, it has opened a national debate in England and could even lead to some kind of change in the regulation.
The action has also generated consensus among some of its adversaries. For example, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Manchester United coach, acknowledged in the press conference after 9-0 that his team endorsed him at Southampton that he had asked the refereeing team what they thought of the expulsion of the Arsenal player. “I did it because I thought I did not deserve expulsion. The rules have to be revised no matter how much they say that if you miss someone during an obvious scoring occasion without trying to play the ball you deserve a red card. There was a contact, yes, but that did not merit an expulsion. I think that all of us who are part of the world of football agree on that ”, explained the Norwegian.
As much as Arsenal appeal the decision, it seems that, With the regulations in hand, the expulsion is successful, but even so the mosquito in the club is evident. “Sitting here I would tell you that we are going to go for it, but we have to talk with the legal department and with the club to decide which is the best way forward,” Arteta assured in the subsequent press conference. The player, for his part, expressed himself through a story on Instagram in which he simply wrote in capital letters: “Incredible.”
An injustice, in the eyes of many in England, who has also seen the Chelsea legend John Terry: “That can never be a red card! It’s double punishment! Anyone who has ever played this knows that David is not trying to play the ball and that he is trying to get out of the way. That is, there is a penalty, but no red card ”.
