The World Cup assault on Muller, and even He said the suspension – something that could happen – would be a fitting end to his career with the Portugal international.
“He doesn’t have many years left in football. He turns 39 next week and there are indications that he could be suspended for two years. Whether that happens or not, footballers have to realize that they are not on the field to hurt their opponents. I understand. that they have to be competitive, but that doesn’t open the way for everyone to do it,” he wrote.
Later, Karen Brady added: “Bibi has already said goodbye to his career. Of course someone will give him a football job. But the fact that a man can arouse so much hatred and contempt is a good reason to shut the stadium doors in his face. He probably tried to clean up Some of your log, but it takes a brush and a bucket of sanitizer to do some work.So, the events at Estádio do Dragão [expulsão no clássico e possível suspensão de dois anos] It’s a fitting ending for Bibi.”
