Wolfsburg – His tenth yellow card this season and four warnings from referee Felix Brych in one scene upset Bayer Leverkusen’s Kerem Demirbay even after the game.
“I find that very, very sad, I’m being honest, the referee really gets on my nerves,” he told the ARD “Sportschau” after the game in the Bundesliga, which he won 2-0 with Leverkusen ( 0:0) had won.
Brych had shown four players a yellow card after a pack formed as a result of a foul by Wolfsburg’s Aster Vranckx on Piero Hincapie – including Demirbay. But he was not aware of any guilt and, according to his own statement, had only tried to calm the players involved: “Then Maxi Arnold comes and says: “Kerem is good, everything is easy, you did well” and then the referee comes and gives me my fifth yellow card.” The annoyed 28-year-old added with a look at Brych: “I hope that he will not whistle for us so often in the future.”
Demirbay was the first player in this Bundesliga season to reach the mark of ten warnings and had to sit out a game for the second time because of a yellow card suspension.
