Learn the good or the bad … You must improve your behavior on the field. The Disciplinary Commission of the French Professional Football League (LFP) has sanctioned Brazilian forward Paris Saint Germain with two games and a third suspension, which will not be applied if he is not sanctioned again, for his expulsion in the final game. Sunday against Lille, from Ligue 1.
Neymar saw two yellow cards and thus the red for two incidents with two rival players. The former for putting his hand in Benjamin Andre’s face and the latter, which meant the expulsion, for pushing Portuguese Tiago Djalo, who also left the field for a double warning.
If the penalty seems particularly harsh due to the accumulation of two yellow cards, it should be borne in mind that after leaving the field, Neymar continued the dispute with Lille’s Portuguese defender Tiago Djalo in the corridors of the Park of the Princes. In fact, the two players had to be separated by security teams so as not to get in trouble, as can be seen on the television images.
The Brazilian star had already had a major disagreement with the Spaniard of Olympique de Marseille Álvaro González in September. Tiago Djalo, who was also eventually sent for a double warning, the second for the scuffle with the Brazilian attacker, the Disciplinary Commission eventually sanctioned him with two suspension matches, the second exempted from compliance if he does not repeat offenders.
The Professional Football League’s decision was made public as a crucial nomination for Neymar was about to begin, the Champions League quarter-final between Bayern Munich and PSG.
The disciplinary committee also reported other sanctions, including a suspension match for two other PSG players -Idrissa Gueye and Leandro Paredes-, for Álvaro González from Marsella and for Wout Faes from Reims. In these four cases, the reason is that they all received a third warning in a period of ten official league matches.
