Franck Ribéry was suspended with three games for having pushed an assistant referee at the end of the lost match with Fiorentina against Lazio (2-1). Ribéry was expelled after the final whistle for his behavior. The former Bayern Munich player approached the assistant referee "threateningly" and uttered "disrespectful words" against him, before pushing him, the Italian Football Federation said in his decision.
The penalty is accompanied by a fine of 20,000 euros for the new star of Fiorentina. Replaced in the 74th minute, Ribéry was furious against his coach Vincenzo Montella , and the television images showed him several times protesting against the coach from the bank.
But his anger broke out at the end of the game, after which he saw the red card. "I am very sorry about last night, I apologize to my teammates, the coach and the fans," Ribéry wrote on Twitter.
This incident occurs in the middle of a good start to the season of the Gallic star, decisive and convincing on the grass, and comfortable with the fans and the press of Italy.
