PSG head coach Christophe Gaultier has defended Sergio Ramos after the player received two yellow cards within 30 minutes of the French Ligue 10 match against Reims (0-0).
"I had a similar experience a few years ago in the Nimes-Lille match. This is a problem of the football language, not the culture of communication. I am sure that Ramos did not want to offend the referee.
Sergio voiced the words that I hear hundreds of times on the field, which we also hear in the championship. When we disagree with a decision, we have words, we hear those words, but they are all emotions. I think that the referee took it as an insult to himself, although it is an expression that is often spoken on the field," Gaultier was quoted as saying by Goal.
We will remind that in the 41st minute of the match, Ramos received a yellow card for a foul against an opponent. In a few seconds, the Spaniard saw a second yellow in front of him for expressive expressions towards the referee.
