Injury can’t be buy
A player will probably have to lose his career due to this kind of “rough defending” before they take actions against this shit.
The worst part is that such behaviour and tackles are result of some rotten understanding of what a battle and a fight in football should be. The next thing is that the same player will fall down grimacing in agony on the smallest of contacts simulating in order to send an opposition player off. This is not and shouldn’t be part of the game. The whole refereeing needs a total revamp and such episodes must cease to exist.
Honestly this is really fu**ed up.
Can someone please make compilation about San Marino’s fouls, would be interesting to see
Here are some.
I didn’t see the match but according to the stats San Marino fouled 14 times and Denmark fouled 10 times.
Apart from that Di Maio cunt going with the knee on the back, was the match really a man hunting from San Marino?
Either the ref was shit or the Danes are exaggerating a bit here.
The ref allowed a lot. There were also some free kicks made by the Danish defenders he did not give.
The San Marino players did not do brutal attacks. It was more constant like jabs concentrated on Højbjerg. Later in the match he also contributed because he was annoyed. He shushed them. Which was not classy. Or popular. He does not normally do these things though…
The worst one the refs missed was Højlund getting intentionally hit in the head in the penalty area, which should have been a red and a sending off, but VAR didn’t intervene because the REF waved it off.
Other than that there were several attempted kicks at Højlund that wasn’t called, in one instance he was kicked 3 times befor finally getting a freekick because the ball was lost.
In all honesty it started because Højlund hit a defender with his elbow and fell on him afterwards, which seemed to make San Marino’s players see red. It didn’t look intentional, but things turned ugly after that, and that was around the 30 minute mark.
For reference Eriksen argued with the San Marino players several times, Kjær too, and those are probably some of the calmest player I’ve ever seen in football, especially Eriksen. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him argue this much with opponents.
