Apologised to the team? Andrich under fire after reckless foul | OneFootball

It was already the second sending-off for Robert Andrich in the still young season. After receiving a yellow-red card in the 3-1 victory in the Bundesliga against Eintracht Frankfurt, he was sent off with a straight red card against PSG. 

This sending-off was also to have a greater impact on the further course of the game, as the Werkself suffered a 2-7 defeat. The red card "obviously changed some things in the game," said coach Kasper Hjulmand according to 'Bild' after the match. 

"Of course, it wasn't a good decision. We will talk about it tomorrow," announced the Bayer coach. When asked if Andrich had apologized to the team, Hjulmand evaded: "What is discussed in the locker room stays there."

The foul and the sending-off were also critically viewed by the TV experts at Amazon Prime. "He is an experienced player; this simply shouldn't happen to him," noted Matthias Sammer. 

Especially Andrich, as captain, "has the task of setting an example and showing strength. And there are mistakes that shouldn't happen. But it's part of it, and he will learn from it," the expert added. Almuth Schult also remarked that Andrich "simply needs to behave more cleverly." 

How long the Leverkusen player will be suspended in the Champions League is still uncertain. However, he is likely to miss the next away game at Benfica.
