Roberto de Zerbi praised Rodrigo Bentancur after the Tottenham midfielder was sent off in the 1-1 draw against Manchester United. The BBC reported that De Zerbi said he ‘liked’ the red card incident and added: ‘I kissed Rodrigo and said thanks’.
The comments came after Bentancur’s dismissal in a match that ended level, with the incident now likely to draw attention because of its impact on Spurs’ midfield availability. It is a timely issue for Tottenham as they prepare for upcoming fixtures.
De Zerbi’s reaction made Bentancur the focus of the post-match discussion, with the manager’s unusual response standing out as the key talking point from the game. The red card could leave Spurs with a selection issue in midfield depending on any resulting suspension.
