The Portuguese seeing that the ball had been saved still rushed forward and landed his boots on Vito's head. I was expecting an immediate sanction from the official as I was aware such an action was a red-card offence. Nothing was done about that during that match and I was hoping the FA would look into the issue after the game.
The replays clearly showed it was a deliberate attack but it's good Mannone didn't get a serious injury. Chelsea goalkeeper, Peter Cech suffered such in the past and that's why he still wears that helmet on his head.
Ricardo got no punishment from a human being but karma dealt with him some seconds after his unruly behaviour. He was moving at a fast speed and his miscalculation saw him land on the floor, thereby dislocating his shoulder. There was an update about his injury yesterday [Sunday] which stated that Vaz Te would be out for three month.
Please this article isn't one which is meant to cause joy over Ricardo's injury. I just want to make it clear that expect what you do to others, be it good or bad upon yourself too. What goes around, comes around.
Good morning.
