Borussia Monchengladbach player: My foul on Diaz should have been a red card, I m sorry

Hupu News, October 26, In this round of the Bundesliga home game, which lost 0-3 to Bayern Munich, Monchengladbach player Jens Castrop scored against Bayern Munich player Lu in the 15th minute. Luis Dias made a savage tackle, and as referee Sasha Stegeman trotted to the video screen to review the scene, Castrop was already whispering to his teammates: "This is a red card," he said guiltily, then lowered his head.

Shortly afterwards, Stegeman confirmed through the stadium microphone that "the foul committed by Monchengladbach player No. 17 endangers the health of the opponent's players" and made the "final decision: red card and sending off."

Castrop later frankly told Bild: "There was nothing wrong with the penalty. If you look at the freeze frame, you will find that the scene was really stupid. Fortunately, I didn't hit him that hard. We had planned that everyone could not flinch when the tackle was made, but of course it was unfortunate because ten Eight or nine times, I probably just knocked him away or went between his legs. I'm really sorry."

This is very painful for Castrop: now he is also in danger of missing two important Bundesliga games before the international break at St. Pauli (November 1) and Cologne (November 8).

Monchengladbach head coach Eugene Polanski said: "Jens himself knows it was a mistake. But I don't blame him at all; he didn't mean to hurt Diaz. Before the game, I asked the players to make tough tackles, especially on the wings. But of course it was a bit too much."
