Borussia Mönchengladbach’s striker Marcus Thuram has apologized after his spit attack against Hoffenheim’s Stefan Posch. “Something happened today that is not in my character and must never happen again,” the Frenchman wrote on Twitter: “I behaved wrongly towards an opponent.”
The incident occurred in the 1: 2 defeat against TSG Hoffenheim. “It was an accident, and not intended,” Thuram wrote. “I apologize to everyone. With Stefan Posch, my opponents, my teammates, my family and everyone who saw my reaction. Of course I accept all the consequences of my actions. “
Thuram spat opponent Stefan Posch in the face in the 78th minute from a very short distance – a gross unsportsmanlike conduct that is even more explosive during the corona pandemic. After video evidence, Thuram saw the red card and had to leave the field. In majority, the guests scored the winning goal from Ryan Sessegnon. Immediately after the game, Gladbach coach Marco Rose had already apologized “also on behalf of the club”.
