Martinez: "It was a difficult moment after the game because the emotions may not be clear yet. I saw his reaction to the provocation. From the beginning of the game, every fight in the penalty area started. Even in the news the day before There were signs at the press conference. He just wanted to continue playing. Someone else might have gone down and sought a penalty. This was not a violent act, but a red card for violence. We need to try our best to present the case and be fully prepared.
