Dortmund defender Neven Subotic blasts http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sotirios-Kyrgiakos-c33831 for elbow challenge- Bundesliga news
Borussia Dortmund defender Neven Subotic has blasted Wolfsburg’s Sotirios Kyrgiakos for the dangerous elbow tackle that has left the former with multiple fractures in the face. He claimed that an apology is not enough for what
has happened in the match. He admitted that the tackle was unnecessary and should not have been made in the first place.
Kyrgiakos recently offered his apology for the dreadful tackle on Subotic in last week’s clash between Borussia Dortmund and Wolfsburg at the Signal Iduna Park which the home side won rather comprehensively with a 5-1 score line.
Subotic was substituted at half-time after doctors declared that the player would require a surgery on his face.
Subotic criticized the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 defender and insisted that his apology means nothing. He claimed that Kyrgiakos should not have made the tackle as it was useless with the ball already cleared. He insisted that the Greek
international should be aware of his surroundings, stating that it is he who would suffer the consequences now.
“I think you cannot just say sorry by text message after something like that. I am carrying all the consequences. All I want to say is that it was totally unnecessary of him to reach out backwards with his elbow. He has got to
be aware of what can happen,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The Serbian international admitted that he did not know the extent of the injury until the doctors told him at the interval. He initially thought that it was a blow on the nose but admitted that he had to back out from the match
after having a look at the mirror.
“I first thought that it was just a bit of blood and once the wound had been dressed and the nose blocked, I could carry on. But then the doctor showed me at half-time that there was no use (continuing),” he continued.
