Expelled against Montpellier, Nuno Tavares did not receive a fine, as promised by his coach Igor Tudor. OM had no right to deduct his salary. On the other hand, the player should contribute to the kitty set up by the Marseille dressing room.
Nuno Tavares was awarded a penalty by 3 matches decided, following the red card against Montpellier. According to RMC SportsOM expected this verdict, as the referee had justified the expulsion by “brutal action”. However, the scale has 3 encounters for this type of failure.
Tavares should put the money in the “cagnotte”
The radio specifies that Pablo Longoria spoke with the player, to inform him that his outrage could have penalized the team. OM, who were leading 2-0, were really scared at the end of the game. Igor Tudor’s men conceded a penalty and suffered until the final whistle. The Olympic president then would not have wanted to add anything else, the defender having made his mea culpa. Croatian coach, who asked for a fineit was therefore not heard.
RMC Sports further specifies that it would not have been legal for crazy apply a fine or payroll deduction. French law does not allow this. However, Igor Tudor was able to ask the Portuguese to put his hand in his pocket to finance the kitty set up by the locker room for delays and this type of inappropriate behavior. Luis Suarez would have contributed significantly, at the beginning of the season, after gestures of humor, on the bench.
However, the situation shouldn’t make the Croatian coach smile so much, who will have to reorganize his left lane over the next three games (Hyères, Troyes and Lorient). Sead Kolasinac, who started the match against MHSC in centre, is expected to be repositioned in the wide.
