Fernando apologizes to the Sevilla-Osasuna referee: "I assume my mistake, I'm sorry"

MADRID, 27 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Sevilla FC midfielder Fernando Reges has apologized to the referee Juan Luis Pulido Santana and his refereeing team for their "inappropriate words" during Sunday's defeat against Osasuna (2-3), which cost him the expulsion and which could lead to a harsh sanction.

"Yesterday I was sent off with a direct red card for the first time since I played for Sevilla FC. I was wrong, a victim of nerves and the tension of the moment. But not even the impotence I felt justifies my behaviour", begins the letter published by Fernando in his social networks.

The Brazilian saw the direct red card in minute 94, already on the bench and after having been substituted, of the duel against the Navarrese at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, of the twenty-third day of LaLiga Santander, after insulting, according to the minutes, to the assistant referee.

"He was sent off for addressing my number 1 assistant referee in the following terms: "bastard, bastard, son of a bitch, bastard." Once sent off, he had to be restrained by members of his team, addressing me in the following terms: "Son of a bitch, you are a son of a bitch," Pulido Santana stated in the minutes.

Now, the Nervionense soccer player apologizes to the Canarian referee and his team. "I want to apologize to the referee Juan Luis Pulido Santana and the rest of the members of his team for my inappropriate words, which in no way represent the deep respect I have for the arbitration group, as well as for the valuable and complicated work they do. in every game. I also want to apologize to my teammates, the coaching staff, the club and all the fans. I'm really sorry", he stressed.

"Everyone can be wrong and without a doubt this Sunday I was not right. It is not the image that must be given on a football field. I accept my mistake and I can only say that I am sorry and that my commitment to Sevilla FC is today a little bigger than yesterday. And so I will try to prove it", he concluded.
