Nagelsmann criticizes Pavard for red card
Julian Nagelsmann felt Benjamin Pavard deserved to get sent off against Greuther Fürth.
Bayern München were reduced to 10 men in the beginning of the second half of yesterday's 3-1 victory over Greuther Fürth in the Bundesliga when Benjamin Pavard saw red for a challenge on Julian Green.
Speaking to DAZN after the game, Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann expressed his disappointment with Pavard, describing the right-back's sliding tackle as unnecessary.
"I hope it will only be two games [of suspension]. I think the sliding tackle wasn't absolutely necessary and that we could have defended the situation better," said Nagelsmann.
"I think it was a red card. It was a tackle on the achilles tendon, which is usually not a good place to tackle."
