Atlético expect a penalty match for João Félix

João Félix was one of the protagonists of Atlético-Athletic, but not for what he would have liked. The portuguese came out sent off in minute 78 in a very controversial action, which ended up annoying his teammates and the people of the club, starting with Andrea Berta. Two yellows in a minute and now to wait for what you decide Competition for the player. For now, against Getafe (Tuesday, 7:30 pm) he will have to watch it on TV.

At Atlético they are optimistic about the possible punishment and they understand that a suspension match will fall, considering that he was expelled by two yellow cards and what Gil Manzano wrote in the minutes. “Addressing me with the index finger on the temple as a sign of disagreement after being admonished”, was the reason for the second card. In 'other incidents' he added that “when he was heading to the changing room tunnel, kicked a ball with his foot throwing it into the stands as a sign of disagreement “, but in the entity they hope that this does not suppose a greater sanction.

In the club they know that João Félix was wrong, and the footballer is also aware, but they also argue that there was a previous context that fostered the footballer's anger. The '7' regrets that, not only in that action was he the object of the foul, a continuous grab, but just a few minutes before they left him without whistling another action in favor in the front of the area. AND the tension shot up when he saw the first yellow. João understood that he had only tried to get out of the opponent's grip.

Now it will be the Competition Committee who, based on the Gil Manzano act, will impose the punishment of João Félix. The wording does not speak of insults, or humiliating acts, not even of contempt, which could toughen the sanction based on article 137 of the Disciplinary Code. Therefore, anything that is more than one suspension game will be a surprise.
