Marcus Thuram regrets his spit attack against TSG Hoffenheim and is ready to face the consequences.
"I apologize to everyone, to Stefan Posch, to my opponents, to my team-mates, to my family and everyone who saw my reaction," the Borussia Mönchengladbach striker wrote on Instagram.
He "behaved wrongly towards an opponent.
It was an accident and not really intended ”.
A mistake?
The attempt to explain it may be regarded as unsuccessful at this point.
The 23-year-old French international spat in the face of his opponent Posch in a 1: 2 (1: 0) against Hoffenheim on Saturday and saw the red card when the score was 1: 1.
Coach Marco Rose had already apologized “on behalf of the club” after the game: “It just doesn't belong on the football pitch.
That goes far beyond the borders. "
"I will accept all the consequences"

Rose and some of Thuram's teammates had also named the expulsion as the reason for the first home defeat of the season.
Thuram's teammate Valentino Lazaro described the failure as a “broken neck”.
“A shame for the team, a shame for him.
It doesn't really suit his character at all, ”said Lazaro
