Football Legends Who Are Never Kicked By the Referee

DBasia.news – A few days ago, Cristiano Ronaldo stole the attention following the red card in the match against Valencia in the Champions League. This is not the first time the Portugal star got the red card.

Playing in a sport requiring physical contact, no wonder the football players often have a clash on the pitch. Consequently, many of them get injured.

To anticipate the harsh performance, there is a regulation to give the yellow or red card. Besides, the punishment could discipline the player.

Some players are used to the red card and often kicked from the pitch. Let’s say Luis Suarez or Sergio Ramos who often left the pitch before the match ends.

However, there are some football players who never get a red card. It means, they are discipline while playing.

Raul Gonzales

 

When he was still active, Raul Gonzales was mentioned as the best Spanish football players of all time. Raul was a great top scorer and the leader, both inside and outside the pitch.

Raul is calm on the pitch. The alumnus of Real Madrid football academy often gave the example to the teammates.

Moreover, Raul is always discipline while playing. Throughout his career, Raul never got any red card despite 48 yellow cards.

Michel Platini

 

In 2014, Michel Platini said that football was harsher at the time he was still active. But, Platini never neither provoked nor got the red card.

Throughout his career, Platini played in 655 matches when he supported Nancy, Saint-Etienne, Juventus, and France national team.

From that number, Platini never got any red card. The UEFA President just got three yellow cards.

Andres Iniesta

 

Along with Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta is the key player of Barcelona and Spain national team. Iniesta is one of the most consistent players.

Iniesta doesn’t like to steal the attention both inside or outside the pitch. The player who is currently supporting Vissel Kobe never involved in any disciplinary issue.

Throughout his career, Iniesta has never kicked from the pitch either by red card or two yellow cards. Moreover, he just got two yellow cards so far.

Gary Lineker

 

Throughout his performance, Gary Lineker went to many clubs. Lineker once supported Leicester, Everton, Barcelona, Tottenham, and Nagoya Grampus.

In his long career, Lineker never got any red card. Moreover, the England national team striker never got any yellow card.

That is an impressive record for a striker who often offended by the opponents. Apparently, Lineker often becomes the target of the defenders.

Gaetano Scirea

 

Other players mentioned above are either striker or midfielder. No wonder if they never got a red card.

Gaetano Scirea is different. The Italian defender is labeled as the true gentlemen while supporting Atalanta, Juventus, and Italy national team.

Moreover, Scirea just got three yellow cards throughout his performance. The number is really small for a defender with the duty to stop the opponent’s defense.
