afternoon a 10 match suspension to REAL MADRID defender PEPE after
Tuesday nights “loss of control” & “violence” against Getafe players
Casquero & later Albin. That´s only what was bleamed around the World,
there also was abusive language to the linesmen & he jumped back on the
field to celebrate Higuain´s winning last minute goal when he was just sent
off with a Red Card.
The sentence is the following:
4 games for the violent kicking towards Casquero
4 games for punching Albin in the face
1 game for the red card
1 game for verbally abusing the linesmen.
One of the highest in Spanish Football History!
Real Madrid has also said they will hand down their own punishment to the
player for damaging the image of the Club nationally & worldwide. The
normal procedure is a heavy economic fine, however the Club may decide
to go further considering the extraordinary behaviour shown by Pepe & the
circumstances. Getafe President Angel Torres is not happy & has called on
Real Madrid to break its contract with the Portuguese player, an extreme
opinion from some sectors who are baffled & still cannot explain the player’s
violent outburst.
Pepe now says goodbye to the remaining six games of this season & will
miss the start of the next. The player has expressed his sincere apologises
to the players involved, his team-mates, the Club, the fans & everyone who
witnessed his actions. He has said that he will seek counselling to control his
temperament & ensure this never happens again. The best thing that Pepe
can do is to continue training, support his team-mates & the Club as they fight
to attempt to snatch away from Barça the Spanish League title, that & a well
earned break (holidays) while this all calms down & the dust settles.

Pepe should be banned from playing football completely and for life. Nothing warrants a player kicking another player who is already flat on ground. And he even kicked him twice!!! then proceeded to punch another player on the face. How does one justify all that in a game of sport. Even in war it is not allowed. roc.
Although it is totally unacceptable behaviour from Pepe, your comment ( to my understanding) are extreme. Perhaps you should have a look through YouTube & see Eric Cantona or Maradona ( twice - his first world cup & against Bilbao (Spanish Cup Final) when with Barcelona.
The pressure & the knowledge that you may have cost your team thlose the League made him snap. Although as I said not justifiable to act like that
His 10 games suspension should make him think, should be enough.
Thanks for your comments
