Tuesday night, Luis Diaz was sent off after his tackle from behind on Achraf Hakimi. A decision which is not fair according to Toni Kroos (35 years old). In his podcast Einfach mal Luppenhe confided: “For me, it’s clear: it wasn’t a red card. The referee let Hakimi’s injury influence his assessment of the action. According to him, the Colombian’s tackle is hard but “not intentional”.
He added: “if Hakimi had gotten up after the contact, no one would have seen the action again. In this type of situation, the referee must judge the action itself, and not its consequences. The Moroccan, who left the field in tears, suffers from a sprain and will be away from the field between 6 and 10 weeks.
