Cesar Azpilicueta Discusses Giovanni Lo Celso’s Stomp

DBasia.news –  The London derby between Chelsea against Tottenham Hotspur went excitingly. There was even a moment from Giovanni Lo Celso that came to the attention of Cesar Azpilicueta.

At the beginning of the second half Cesar Azpilicueta and Giovanni Lo Celso were involved in the race for the ball. The Blues captain who tried to tackle won the ball. However, he could not avoid stepping on the Tottenham midfielder’s foot.

The midfielder’s hard stomp then made Azpilicueta grimace in pain. However, the incident in fact did not make the referee take a decisive action. Not even giving a red card, a yellow card was not even issued.

The decision practically surprised the Blues captain. “You all know I’m not a player who likes to fall because I’m a tough defender. And I made a foul, “he told BT Sport, Saturday (2/22/2020).

“It was a clear tackling in my shin and I immediately felt pain. But the referee’s decision really surprised me. He did not issue a red card, did not even issue a yellow card, “he added.

Furthermore, the Spanish player understood that anyone can make mistakes. But for things that clearly happened in plain sight and there was VAR observing it, he could not believe the incident escaped the attention of the referee.

“Obviously everyone can make mistakes. But when you have lots of videos and watch them closely, that error should not have happened, “concluded Azpilicueta.
