Carlos Tevez risks 12-game ban for insulting referee’s sister
The former bianconeri star netted a peach of a goal in the first half with a clinical right-footed shot from outside the danger area before losing his cool shortly after.
Tevez, 32, made a hard tackle on Belgrano’s Lema, but the referee’s decision of sanctioning him with a yellow card, did not leave the Argentinean too happy as he shouted ‘La concha de tu hermana!’ (Literally ‘your sister is a b****) to the referee, seconds after he had been showed the yellow card.
Mr. Delfino, that’s the identity of the referee, could not think about it twice and took a showed Tevez, not a second yellow card, but a straight red card instead.
Tevez will now be suspended from a minimum of three games to a maximum of twelve, a consequence of his disrespectful behaviour which he had never showed during his two-year spell at Juventus.
