The Chilean defender was also sanctioned with a two-game suspension, for which he will miss the duel against Inter, with Alexis Sánchez and Arturo Vidal.
Gary Medel is not having a good time in Italy. The Chilean defender was sent off in the duel against Juventus and not only will he miss Bologna’s next two games, but he will have to pay a heavy fine amounting to more than four million pesos.
The furious day he had on Saturday will cost Medel dearly. He was in the game against Juventus for Serie A , that the Chilean managed a strong cross with the referee of the match, which ended up earning him the expulsion. In less than ten seconds, they showed him a double yellow.
But the problems didn’t stop there, as the Italian judge left a note of the match in the refereeing report, for which he was severely punished. Gary received a two-game suspension and a fine of five thousand euros, a sum which in Chilean pesos amounts to 4.4 million .
According to the report, the sanction is justified”for protesting against the referees of the match; for having, moreover, after a warning, continued to protest blatantly and with unequivocal gestures towards the main referee, lightly touching his arm when he was notified of the expulsion order ”.
The matches that the “Pitbull” will miss will be against Udinese at home and during his visit to Inter Milan , by Alexis and Vidal. This way, local fans have no chance of seeing three of the Golden Generation’s most important strongholds on the pitch.
