Ten Hag’s Unusual Analogy for Bruno’s Yellow Card: “A Cow in the Rear”
Erik ten Hag’s use of an odd comparison to justify Bruno Fernandes’ startling yellow card in the 2-2 draw with Sevilla caused even reporters to smile.
Ten Hag elucidated, “Because Bruno was throwing a ball away the following [second] , therefore the next he is off.
“He saved him because Sevilla did the same thing in the first half and the Seville player got booked for it,” the referee said.
“Antony, at last, he figured it out, but don’t come now; everything is going our way.
“We’re up 2-0 and playing well, so don’t pick individual fights with your opponents; it’s unnecessary, and you run the danger of getting sent off. I’m unwilling to take the chance.
“It’s easily… so afterwards we call it where I’m coming from, you’re looking a cow in the ass,” the Manchester United manager continued.
Yes, a cow in the behind. That is how we refer to it in my region, which comes from the Netherlands. But you asked me, “Why don’t you get him off? ” after he was dismissed. Why don’t you take the chance?”
