Coaches set a bad example to
their boys this weekend, with three of the games' five red cards shown to
members of the technical staff. Barcelona's assistant manager Tito Vilanova was
given a two match for kicking a ball on to the pitch after he was sent off for
protesting, and Sanz (Sevilla) and Esnaider (Zaragoza) were also red-carded.
Otherwise though there were only two red cards for players, one for Athletic
Bilbao's Amorebieta for picking up two bookings either side of half time
against Sevilla, and one straight red for Málaga substitute Albert Luque
for a hard tackle on Barcelona's Dani Alves. (29.09.09) |
