Nancy is last in Ligue 2, with two points in seven games, but one of her players is first. The problem is in the classification of red cards … Expelled on Saturday after his bad tackle on Bilal Brahimi in the position of last defender, against Dunkirk, Lorraine midfielder Giovanni Haag, 21, received his third red card from the season in… five games and forty-nine days only.
Before his pass of three, Haag had however explained that he would become wiser. “My start to the season annoys me more than anything else, I am extremely frustrated, he blurted out in the Republican East. Already by these two red cards of course, because I miss matches. The first one, OK, it’s deserved. The second, on the other hand, there is nothing at all. The boxes, the defeats… I tell myself that this is a period when everything is badly linked, where everything is against me. “
Daniel Stendel, his new coach in Nancy, tries to clear it but Haag should be suspended for several games: “It’s a shame that there is this red card for Giovanni Haag when it was his first fault, he estimated. We did not quite understand. The decision is a bit harsh. The Professional Football League took up his case to look into its archives. For her, Giovanni Haag is not the first player to record three red cards in just five games played. Since the summer of 2005, this ability to return to the locker room before the others was already the prerogative of two other players: Hervé Libohy, then at the PFC and the central defender of Châteauroux, Massamba Sambou.
