Zlatan Ibrahimovic will miss AC Milan’s next game after collecting a red card in their last with claims of misunderstanding on the part of match officials falling on deaf ears as a one-match ban has been handed out.
An enigmatic Swedish frontman was dismissed during a 3-1 victory for the Rossoneri over Parma, with it alleged that the 39-year-old had insulted referee Fabio Maresca.
Ibrahimovic insisted that was not the case, as he pleaded his innocence, but the Sporting Judge in Serie A has ruled that a
suspension must be served.
The Sporting Judge justified its decision in a press release by saying: “For having, in the 15th minute of the second half, uttered, with a provocative attitude, a disrespectful criticism to the match official.”
AC Milan’s lawyer, Leandro Cantamessa, had hoped to see common sense prevail, telling Radio Kiss Kiss of Ibrahimovic’s bid to see a sending off overturned: “It all depends on what Maresca writes in his report.
“If he has doubts on what he heard, he should write it, and the matter may have an unexpected and resounding twist.
“If the referee admits he was wrong, then Ibra could play the next game even if he was shown a red card in the previous game.
“If it doesn’t happen, he could even get a one or two-match ban, but that would be so unfair.” Cantamessa added: “We can’t appeal if he receives a one-match ban. “There was a misunderstanding.
There’s nothing more to add. I heard what Ibrahimovic said, and I don’t know what the referee heard, but I know Ibra didn’t insult him.”
