Black Stars Captain Andre Ayew has spoken on being sent off in his first game for Le Havre against Nantes on Sunday.
Just two minutes and thirty seconds after being introduced in the 65th minute, Ayew was sent off in the 67th minute for what was considered reckless play.
Ayew voiced his displeasure with the referee’s ruling in a media interview, saying,“Yes, it’s true that it’s soccer, it’s soccer. I think that with enough experience, you can take a step back from situations, but I’m pretty calm after seeing the images again.”
Ayew continued by narrating his side of the incident describing what happened before the red card. “He throws himself, he throws himself before me, I see him throw himself, he’s going to get the ball before me, I lift my foot, trying to hold it back and on the way to land I brush against his shin guard. And that’s it, that was the referee’s decision,” he added.
Andre Ayew will serve a three-match suspension before he returns to action.
