the brutal sanction to which he is exposed

As reported by A Bola, Pepe, Porto’s central defender, could suffer an unprecedented sanction between two months and… two years!

The Portuguese center-back, who already had a terrible episode of violence at Real Madrid in a match against Getafe, was sent off in the classic against Sporting Portugal and, according to the aforementioned media, “he kicked a manager (some speak of Hugo Viana, international relations director) of the opposing team, committing an act of violent conduct” which, according to the Disciplinary Regulations of the League stipulates, is a “foul very serious “aggression against directors or staff members of rival teams”.

Not everything was there. The game ended with four expelled, including Pepe, for a spectacular brawl on the pitch. It all happened after an entry from Porto’s central defender. But not everything serious happened then. In the first half, Ricardo Esgaio called the referee for Pepe to show him an object that he was hiding in his hand. Well, according to A Bola, “the Porto center-back, near the Sporting area, would have tried to hide an object that, according to the League delegate’s report, could be a bullet. In the television images it is visible that the players of Sporting realized the seriousness of the fact”. In the end, the bullet was handed over to the referee and he passed it on to the league delegate, who is making a report on it.
