Nenad Bjelica caused a scandal in the game against FC Bayern. The Union coach wiped Leroy Sané’s face. Now the person concerned spoke out.
Leroy Sané spoke out after Union coach Nenad Bjelica’s assault against him. After the game, the national player told “Bild”: “I don’t hold grudges when it comes to something like that and the scene has already been forgotten for me. As far as I know, he was a bit emotional after the scene in our penalty area. Whatever – the main thing is us got the three important points.”
The national player remembered the scene as follows: “I actually just wanted to get the ball back quickly to start the next attack and then it got a bit wild and he grabbed me in the face.”

Bjelica herself also commented on the events: “He pushed me, then I reacted the way I shouldn’t react with my hand on his face. I was a little upset.” But his behavior was “not okay. What I did cannot be tolerated. I understand the red card.” Sané got away with a yellow card.
The Union coach initially did not want to apologize to Sané. He had to apologize to his own team. “Not with Sané. He comes into the room to provoke me.” But that doesn’t excuse the fact that he didn’t react appropriately, said the 52-year-old Croatian. Bjelica is facing a suspension.
