Juve, Douglas Costa risks 3 days: nudge, tested and spit to Di Francesco

We are in the recovery of Juventus-Sassuolo, with the bianconeri who lead 2-0 with the double of CR7. In the action of the goal of Babacar, Douglas Costa has a bickering with Di Francesco, who was born earlier in the Emilia area. It seems like a quarrel as if they saw so many, but then the Brazilian rifil an elbow, not particularly violent, to the attacker of Sassuolo, followed by a head under the eyes of the referee Chiffi who admonishes him. But it is not over, because the discussion between the two continues.

SPIT - At this point Douglas does not control his nerves and even rifle a spit Di Francesco, not seen by the referee. Fix the Var and the resulting red comes. At this point Douglas Costa risks 3 days of stop: the spit is assimilated to violent conduct. If this were the case, the Frosinone match and the matches with Bologna and Napoli at the Stadium would jump.

THE EXCUSES - A few hours after the final whistle, the Brazilian wanted to apologize to everyone with a message posted on Instagram: "I would like to apologize to all Juventus fans for this reaction - wrote Douglas Costa - I apologize also with my teammates, who are always with me in beautiful and bad moments ".

Gostaria de pedir desculpas a todos os torcedores da Juventus por essa minha reação equivocada no jogo de hoje. Peço também desculpas aos meus companheiros de time, que estão sempre comigo nos momentos bons e ruins. Errei feio, tenho consciência e venho me desculpar com todos por isso. Deixo claro que essa atitude isolada não condiz com o que sempre mostrei em minha carreira. Douglas Costa Vorrei scusarmi con tutti i fan della Juventus per questa reazione fuorviante nel gioco di oggi. Mi scuso anche con i miei compagni di squadra, che sono sempre con me nei momenti belli e cattivi. Ero brutto, ne sono consapevole e mi scuso con tutti per questo. Metto in chiaro che questo atteggiamento isolato non corrisponde a quello che ho sempre dimostrato nella mia carriera. Douglas Costa @juventus
