„Manchester City“ team lost a very important player - Leroy Sane in the FA Cup match against „Cardiff City“.
The football player was running with the ball in a quick attack, when he was harshly brought down by Joe Bennett, who received a yellow card. The football player completely missed the ball, his leg hit L. Sane's thigh, and he seriously injured his ankle.
Immediately after the match, J. Bennett apologized to the German on his „Twiiter“ account: „I just want to apologize to Leroy Sane for my mistake today. I wanted to stop the fast attack, but I completely misjudged the timing“, wrote the „Cardiff“ football player.
„Man City“ coach Pep Guardiola also commented on the incident: „Referees should protect not only me, but all players. Sane won't play for a while. Maybe two or three weeks, or maybe a month, everything will be clear soon. He injured his ankle.
Opponents decided to play this way, and that one person must decide how the game should be played and what is illegal. If he does nothing about it, but everything can happen on the pitch“, stated P. Guardiola criticizing referees.
Meanwhile, a message was posted on the official Twitter account of the German national team: „Hello, „Cardiff City“. We just want you to know that we will have a very important tournament this summer. Please, do not hurt our players. Thank you.“ However, this message was deleted.
