🚨Rodrigo Bentancur on his altercation with Luke Shaw in the match against Manchester United: 🗣️Reporter: “Rodrigo, you were sent off following the incident with Luke Shaw. Do you feel the referee made the right decision?” 🎙️Bentancur: “Honestly, I still don't understand it. That's what frustrates me the most. I made a clean tackle, I won the ball cleanly, and somehow I'm the one walking off the pitch with a red card. Can someone explain that to me? “Look, football is a contact sport. We're going to make tackles, we're going to compete, and sometimes emotions run high. But if you win the ball fairly, what exactly have you done wrong? “After the tackle, Shaw pushed me. And people need to understand that. I'm not saying I'm proud of how things escalated, but I wouldn't have reacted the way I did if he hadn't put his hands on me first. Why does everyone want to focus on my reaction without looking at what happened before it? “You cannot allow one player to push another and then punish only the person who reacts. That's not how fairness is supposed to work.” Reporter: “Do you think there's inconsistency in the refereeing decisions in this league?” Bentancur: “Absolutely. And what makes it even more frustrating is that I remember a similar incident involving Bruno Fernandes and Phil Foden in the Manchester City game, where Foden was shown a red card. Now we have another controversial situation, and once again, the decisions leave everyone asking questions. “I'm not saying every incident is exactly the same. The referee has to judge what happened, the level of aggression and the context. But that's precisely why I want consistency. If one situation deserves a red card, explain why. If another is different, explain that too. Players deserve clarity. “And of course, this happens with Manchester United involved, and suddenly it becomes an even bigger discussion. I'm not saying United are responsible for the referee's decision, but clubs shouldn't receive different treatment because of their name or reputation. “This league is becoming a disgrace when players leave the pitch feeling that the rules depend on who's involved rather than what actually happened.” “I'm prepared to accept responsibility for my own actions. I'm a professional, and I know I have to control my emotions. But accepting responsibility doesn't mean staying silent when I believe a decision is wrong. “I can take criticism. I can accept a punishment when I've deserved it. What I cannot accept is feeling that the full incident hasn't been judged fairly. “Give us consistency. Give us an explanation. And treat every club the same way. That's all I'm asking for.”
