RE: Anger in sport: Major reason for some defeat

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Lamela should have been carded for his reaction as it was a love tap. This was not anger as this was a set up and Martial was too stupid and fell into the trap. Play acting has no place in sport and examples need to be made. Other sports like rugby which you don't have play acting has an automatic red card for a punch only if it lands, a slap just doesn't happen which this wasn't and was a love tap. I do believe Martial sending off would not have changed the result as Man Utd this year are in trouble having no quality or very little. Expect to see them finish outside the top 10 this season as last year they over achieved and haven't exactly bought anyone decent in the transfer window.

Lamela was given a yellow card later on in the match but I guess it was done by the VAR crew. Martial surprised me though to have over reacted that way. Thank you for your deep analysis. And for @evegrace she nailed it. Keep it up.

Well, you are right. It is obvious that what happened was a set up but if Martial had not over reacted which was caused by anger VAR wouldn't have sent him off. The opposing team knew that Martial in the pitch had a big effect on the team and had to look for a way to distract the team and they succeeded. Thank you for taking out time to read and comment. @crpytoandcoffee
