HAS Rodrigo Bentancur The comment he made towards his teammate will surely cost him dearly. Heung Min Son. It was a joke that the Uruguayan footballer played, but it will end badly for the Tottenham player.
Bentancur will be suspended for a total of seven matches, although it is true that the English Football Association (FA) has not yet confirmed this. It all goes back to a prank the player played during a training camp with Uruguay. “Could you bring me the Korean’s shirt?”a Uruguayan journalist asked the Tottenham footballer. The player asked “Son” and the journalist replied: “Yes, or any champion”.

“Son? Or Sonny’s cousin, they’re all more or less the same,” were his words.

After that came the unfortunate comment: “It could be one of Sonny’s cousins, because they are all more or less the same”. These statements from Bentancur caused a stir. It is true that the footballer publicly apologized to Son, with whom he spoke amicably in London.
“He made a mistake, he knows it and he apologized. “Lolo” never intentionally meant anything offensive. We are friends and nothing has changed at all… “We have overcome this, we are united and we will be together again to fight for our club as one,” the South Korean said of Bentancur.
Despite this, the English Federation has not neglected Bentancur’s wordswho will remain without playing for seven matches. Currently, the Uruguayan is an important part of Tottenham, with whom he has already played. 15 matches this seasonincluding ten as starters.
If the heavy sanction is finally confirmed, the Spurs coach, Ange Postecoglou, will have to look for other options once the Federation has confirmed the sanction.
