It was a bloodbath that cost Losc dearly. During the victory of Betis Sevilla on the lawn of the Mastiffs (2-3), Tuesday evening on the occasion of the 1era day of the Champions League, Ethan Mbappé left his teammates in the 56the minute. After the third goal scored by the Andalusians, the little brother of the “Kyk’s” was guilty of a gesture of humor, sending an elbow in the face of the Sevillian defender, Natan.
Excluded after intervention by the VAR for this very bad gesture, Ethan Mbappé spoke the same evening on his social networks to apologize. The 19-year-old attacking midfielder also spoke in the locker room in front of his teammates.
“Ethan (Mbappé) apologized. He spoke in front of everyone, his teammates”confided Davide Ancelotti, who does not want to push his young player down.
“Now my role is to help him learn from that. Afterwards, I don’t want to point fingers at any player. It’s something that has passed. He’s a player. He understood it. We must not add any more”indicated the Italian technician, before continuing: “We represent Losc. Behind a match, there are the teammates, there are the staff, there are the supporters, there is a whole institution. We know that if we make mistakes, it is also the institution that can pay. Ethan knows it. But it happened. »
“I think he will not repeat these gestures”
“Like I said, I’m not going to judge on that. I will continue to help him in his progress. He is someone who has very good values. I don’t think he’ll repeat these actions.”concluded Carlo’s son on the Mbappé case.
From now on, the former Parisian awaits his conviction. With regard to Article 15 of the UEFA disciplinary regulations, his action can be considered as an “brutal conduct”,
which could result in a three-match suspension. The sanction could even increase to five matches if the European body judges, after examining the referee’s report, that it is a “serious assault”.
