“In the 51st minute of the end of the match, for insulting the referee by the home player Nouzák Jakub, when he ran to HR after receiving the CK and hit HR sharply in the chest with both hands, causing HR to fall to the ground. After this HR, he ended the game, as he could not continue the game due to a mental concussion. There was no injury to HR,” reads the minutes of the match.
Velký Osek led the opponent by the narrowest margin. But then came a moment that does not belong on football pitches. The home team’s Jakub Nouzák first received a yellow card for pushing an opponent. To make matters worse, he headbutted another opponent. The referee immediately pulled out a red card. Nouzák could not bear the exclusion and insults from the head referee followed.
“I saw it for the first time, I’ve always only read about it,” said Zdeněk Novák, a member of the Greater Ossetia Committee. “Home Nouzák first pushed our player, then headed another and then went after the referee. The players held him, but then he pushed the referee anyway,” Novák described the incident. “In any case, the home team still had a chance, the score was only one zero. I have to admit that the home team treated us decently and apologized to us after the match. It will be a complication for Liblice,” added Novák.
DISTRICT: The top teams did not allow surprises. One insult was also visible
The match referee Luboš Pluhař himself commented on the situation. “Everything is described in the minutes of the match. Home player Nouzák first fouled, I gave the guests an advantage. In the next interruption, Nouzák headbutted an opponent, for which I awarded him a red card. Then he launched at me and rammed into me. I fell to the ground and then ended the match,” said the referee. “It was unnecessary, the home team could have done something more with the result, it was quite even,” added Luboš Pluhař.
“A few days later, we would like to comment on the unfinished home game with Velký Osek. We are very sorry for the situation, and we would like to apologize again to referee Pluhař, everyone from Velké Osek and our fans,” reads the official statement of the Liblick club.
“The situation that occurred does not belong in football and we fundamentally condemn similar behavior. At the same time, however, we object to the description of how the entire incident unfolded. It was definitely not a sharp ‘header’ by Jakub Nouzák or a sharp push into the opponent, which is evidenced by the fact that the opponent did not fall, was not treated, etc. However, we agree that the player Jakub Nouzák reacted unsportsmanlike, pushed the opponent and discussed with him. forehead to forehead’. After the red card was awarded, Jakub Nouzák reacted inadequately with the words “What, what, what are you doing,’ and when leaving for the cabins, he pushed the referee, whom he was passing. We do not want to excuse our player’s gesture, on the contrary, we are fully aware of the serious misconduct. However, we would like our point of view to be heard. Furthermore, we would like to remind you that none of our players or officials were involved in the incident, verbally or otherwise. There was no further conflict or insults towards the person of the referee even after the end of the match. We deeply regret that the entire incident took place and condemn it,” the statement continued.
On Wednesday, April 12, the disciplinary commission of the Kolín District Football Association will have something to think about. The club will probably not escape the punishment, and Jakub Nouzák himself is in for a tough patch.
