Real Madrid has yet to give up and appeals to the Court of Sport to reduce Jude Bellingham’s ban to just one game. The Italian’s trainer has confirmed.
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that the club has appealed to Spain’s Sports Court (TAD), hoping to reduce Jude Bellingham’s ban to just one game. Because they consider the two-match ban to be too severe, according to a report from Diario AS last Saturday. UFABET
Bellingham was sent off after last week’s 2-2 draw with Valencia after referee Jesus Kiel Manzano deemed the 20-year-old midfielder to be aggressive. Before the Spanish Football Federation’s Disciplinary Committee ordered the player to be banned for 2 games.
However, Real Madrid viewed the punishment as excessively harsh. Both appeals to the Spanish Football Federation’s Disciplinary Committee were rejected, but Ancelotti insists the Reds are not slowing down and has appealed to Spain’s Sports Tribunal (TAD) for the same purpose.
‘We appealed because we thought the punishment was excessive. It wasn’t an insult like the referee said. They rated their approach to the referee as aggressive. I hope they don’t take away your license. Bellingham protested like everyone else. Many people do it more violently than he does. We think the suspension is wrong,’ the Italian trainer said.
Ancelotti also discussed how the loss of Bellingham will affect the game against Celta Vigo this Sunday. ‘We lost position in the penalty area from the second row. That will make a difference in the league.’
