- Return of Red-Sinner Rose in the Audience: Declares Commitment to Enhancement
Before the match at the hotel, coach Marco Rose commended referee Matthias Jöllenbeck for his progress, but things took a turn for the worse within a few hours. The passionate Leipzig coach was shown a red card during their 3-2 victory against Bayer Leverkusen in the featured game, forcing him to spectate the remainder of the game from the stands.
"Entirely my fault. The revised rules are straightforward. I intended to engage after the initial yellow card, but it didn't turn out as planned," Rose clarified to Sky TV. He added, "I accept that. I deserved it in that specific scenario." Already tuned in, Jöllenbeck listened.
Rose admits fault: It was evident what was next to come
The previous season, Rose witnessed four yellow cards and served a game in the stands as a result. "The amusing part is: We crossed paths today at noon, we shared the same hotel as the referees. I assured them: This year will be different. Now I find myself in the position of having to apologize and rectify my words because ultimately, it was obvious what was coming," Rose shared: "I accept the red card, I pledge improvement. I am who I am. If I stumble, then I can admit it. In this case, I did."
"Despite his promise of improvement, Coach Rose once again found himself in a disciplinary situation during the match."
"Determined to learn from his mistakes, Rose vowed to focus on improving his conduct on the sidelines for the upcoming games."
