Since the start of the season, Gift Orban has had a blast in Italy. After a frustrating end to his adventure at OL and a short-lived adventure at Hoffenheim, the Nigerian striker found the perfect place to shine by joining Hellas Verona. Author of 7 goals in 21 league matches, the Nigerian striker delights on the other side of the Alps.

However, this Sunday, the 23-year-old striker did not express himself in the best way. Indeed, traveling to Parma, the native of Benue was excluded directly from the 11th minute of play. A rather crazy expulsion, because the referee of the match brandished the red directly in total incomprehension. In reality, Orban would have had some unflattering words for the referee, who therefore did not hesitate to send him back to the locker room.
