The 24-year-old left-back has offered his sincere apologies to all the fans following his inappropriate behaviour over the sending off in his side’s 1-3 defeat at the hands of PEC Zwolle.
PSV Eindhoven left-back, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Erik-Pieters-c12766, has admitted that his behaviour was not appropriate after being sent off in his side’s 1-3 defeat against PEC Zwolle at Philips Stadion on January 19, and has offered his sincere apologies to all the club’s fans.
The 24-year-old, who returned on the pitch after remaining on the sidelines for more than eight months due to a series of injuries, was shown a straight red card in the 67th minute for a reckless challenge on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fred-Benson-c14138.
After receiving his marching orders, the talented left-back went straight to the dressing room, and smashed a window in anger that left a big cut in his forearm.
And the Dutchman has admitted that his behaviour was not appropriate.
“I have let myself down. I can still hardly believe it. My behaviour was not only out of character but totally unacceptable. I wish to apologise sincerely and unreservedly to PSV, the fans, my friends, my family, actually to everybody”, Pieters was quoted
as saying to the club’s official website.
The Dutch international, who arrived at Philips Stadion in the summer of 2008 after making more than 50 Eredivisie appearances for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Utrecht-c39237, went on to admit that he lost self-control, and is extremely ashamed with the incident.
“After I had been sent off with a straight red card, I lost self-control and vented my frustration in an incredibly stupid manner. As a footballer, I am a role model to kids, youngsters and older people but I didn’t act like one. I fully understand that
I’ve left the fans very disappointed and I wish to offers my most sincere apologies to them”, Pieters concluded.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Dutch Football Association (KNVB) has given the talented left-back a four-match ban, including a one
game conditional suspension.
