Celtic manager reacts to Yang Hyun-jun's departure “I didn’t apply any force “Bad decision”

Banned from two league games

Yang Hyun-jun (Celtic) was sent off for the first time since advancing to the European stage, and his team's coach protested, saying the referee's decision was wrong.

Celtic lost 0-2 in the away match against Hearts in the 29th round of the '2023-2024 Scottish Professional Football Premiership' held at Tynecastle Park in Edinburgh, Scotland on the 3rd (local time).

In the 11th minute of the first half, Yang Hyun-jun was pushed down by Alex Cochran while breaking through the side, resulting in a penalty kick, but kicker Adam Aida missed.

In the 15th minute of the first half, Yang Hyun-jun raised his foot high to win the ball while competing with Cochran and pointed his foot towards the opponent's head. Referee Don Roberston took out a yellow card, but changed it to a red card after reviewing the video (VAR). If he is sent off due to accumulated warnings, he will only be unable to play in one game, but Yang Hyun-jun, who was sent off directly, will not be able to play in the next two league games.

Celtic, who were outnumbered due to Yang Hyun-jun's sending off, began to falter and lost by conceding two goals. Celtic ended their undefeated streak of 10 league games, which had continued since the match against Dundee in the 28th round (7-1 win). 스포츠 토토사이트

After the game, coach Brandon Rogers claimed that the referee's decision was wrong. In an interview, he said, “I don’t usually comment on referee decisions, and I know referees can make mistakes, too,” but added, “(Yang Hyun-Jun’s) sending off was a very, very bad decision.”

Coach Rogers claimed that although Yang Hyun-jun raised his foot high, he had no intention of threatening or hitting his opponent. He said, “If you look at the video, his feet were raised high, but there was no movement,” and “Yang Hyun-jun was looking at the ball. Cochran stuck his head in and won the ball. (Yang Hyun-jun did not apply any force to his feet),” he emphasized.

Yang Hyun-jun, who had expanded his position in the team by recording two consecutive assists in the previous two league games, was forced to miss two games due to a direct expulsion.

Oh Hyun-gyu, Celtic's frontline striker, has also been frequently omitted from the player list since last month and has not been able to get a chance to play.

Attention is being paid to whether Korean players who are facing crisis will be able to secure their positions in the team again. 슬롯
