In England, driving deviations never go unnoticed, and Hugo Ekitike already makes it bitter experience. Author of the victorious goal against Southampton Tuesday evening, the French striker has spoiled his evening by receiving a avoidable red card for celebrating by removing his jersey, when he had already taken a yellow. Direct consequence: according to The Daily MailLiverpool should sanction his player by withdrawing the equivalent of two weeks of salary.
A heavy financial punishment that illustrates the rigor of English football, where discipline and professionalism are scrutinized. In addition to the automatic suspension linked to the red card, Ekitike will therefore have to assume this recall to the economic order imposed by his club. In the Premier League, the slightest embodiment pays cash, and clubs take no risk as to the image and behavior of their players. At just 22 years old, the former Parisian discovers that the high English level does not authorize any distraction.
