It seems that Scottish Rangers play better without Alfredo Morelos than with the attacker on the pitch. When the Cordovan enters, the bad behavior of the striker is noticeable, and his prominence on the pitch does not flow much. Overcome by the attacker, Antonio Colak, who scored two goals in the victory of those led by Giovanni van Bronckhorst, shows more and more that Morelos is not the untouchable on the Scots’ payroll.
That Alfredo Morelos receives red cards is nothing new. In fact, it was already taking time for him to be fired because of his vehemence on the pitch. Against Hibernian, he entered at 63 minutes and at 75 ‘he was expelled. A clumsy action that brought down incessant criticism from around the world. One of them was Graeme Souness who exploded against the Colombian.
Speaking to TalkSport, the Scotsman said, “what’s on his mind? If you do that, you will be expelled. There comes a point where you need to cut your losses with a player like that, in my opinion.”
He asked for it to be sold, commenting, “I think it’s a fact that you can’t trust him. You can’t trust him in the big games. He scores goals, but if Rangers were offered money for him, he would take it. He hasn’t learned his lesson so I think Rangers should look to cash in as you won’t win the big games with 10 men. The reality is, if you get kicked out eight times, that suggests you’re not learning.”
The Rangers beat Ross County by a score of 4-0 without Alfredo Morelos paying the suspension date. His attitude and his bad behavior also led to his not being called up in the match against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League qualifiers. Morelos could be an important card full of goals to face Ajax, Liverpool and Napoli, a more than complex group.
Despite his behavior, Giovanni van Bronckhorst has remained calm and wants to get him back. At a press conference, he spoke about the plan he has with the Cordovan, “Alfredo will not be on the squad on Saturday and then I will sit down with him next week to talk, we want the Morelos we all know to return.”
After the Champions League draw that paired Rangers with Liverpool, Ajax and Napoli, Giovanni van Bronckhorst maintained, “Morelos qualified for the Champions League too, I think he is also proud to see his teammates and his club Qualify for the biggest competition in the world.
