http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Demy-de-Zeeuw-c10825 believes that he does not deserve a red card in the UEFA Champions League play-off round return leg against Fenerbahce on Wednesday
Spartak Moscow managed to reach the UEFA Champions League group stages after winning the play-off round 3-2 against Fenerbahce on aggregate. The Russian outfit recorded a 1-1 draw at Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium prior to their 2-1 home
win against the Turkish giants.
The host team could have forced the thrilling European encounter to extra time had they scored a late goal against the Moscow-based club at home. The Yellow http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Canaries-c38723 failed to score despite having a numeric advantage after Demy
de Zeeuw’s dismissal on 81st minute.
The Dutch winger was sent off during the match after picking up his second yellow card on Wednesday.
In aftermath of the outcome, De Zeeuw has expressed his satisfaction after seeing his side ease past the Turkish outfit on the away turf. However, he is of the belief that the match official made a mistake to award him a second
yellow card in the European encounter.
“We had an incredibly difficult, especially in the second half, when the" Fenerbahce were pushing us for the second goal. But we fought to the end and managed to win the match.”
“I think that the judge should have given me a last warning before sending me off. I understand that the team got into a difficult situation after playing against eleven men. But we have achieved the desired result despite the
red card.” The KNVB Cup winner was quoted as saying.
De Zeeuw, who moved to the Russian outfit from Ajax Amsterdam last year, assured the fans of an improved performance from his side in Europe the next time he will step in the pitch after a two-match suspension.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 Alkmaar player told the media that he watched the final minutes of the match in the locker room and talked with Unai Emery, who backed his quality performance on the pitch apart from the sending off, after the match.
De Zeeuw admitted that the Turkish fans were amazing, admitting that the atmosphere at the stadium was amazing.
