Tottenham midfielder was heavily banned for 7 games! ridiculed teammate Son Heung-min for causing trouble: Koreans all look the same

On the evening of November 13, Beijing time, Uruguayan midfielder Bentancur, who plays for the Premier League powerhouse Tottenham Hotspur Club, received a heavy fine from the FA, and he will be banned for 7 games for allegedly discriminating against club teammate Son Xingmin.

In June, Bentancur jokingly said on a show in Uruguay: "Son Heung-min and his cousins all look the same." Because this sentence is suspected of mocking the appearance of East Asians, especially South Koreans, Bentancur has been fiercely criticized by South Korean fans.

Despite realizing that his remarks had caused trouble, Bentancur posted an apology to Son on his social media, with the Uruguayan midfielder writing in a penitential tone: "Brother! I'm sorry for what happened, it's a tasteless joke. I will never disrespect you and will not hurt you or anyone. ”

And Son Heung-min also accepted Bentancur's apology for the first time: "He made a mistake, he knows." He has already apologized. He doesn't deliberately say something offensive. We are brothers and nothing has changed. We've let that get past and we're coming together to fight for our club before the season. ”

However, Bentancur, who has already apologized, did not escape the FA's punishment, and after a four-month investigation, the FA issued a notice to impose a seven-game ban on Bentancur. This season, Bentancur has contributed one goal and one assist in 15 appearances for Tottenham. As the absolute main force of the team, his ban is undoubtedly a big blow to Tottenham, who are currently only ranked 10th in the league.
