Bruno Lage manager
Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Bruno Lage was left unhappy after he felt Liverpool repeatedly targeted Adama Traore in the 1-0 defeat at Molineux. Following the game, Lage called for players to be booked for cynical fouls that deliberately stop players from attacking.
Bruno Lage said: “I don’t believe in tactical fouls. For me, to break transitions a tactical foul is every time a yellow card. Sometimes if the player pushes another, it’s a yellow card. Sometimes the player kicks the other one, it’s nothing and it’s a tactical foul. I don’t believe in that. Every time, for me, the fouls in that moment is a yellow card because it breaks the transition. If you look at the game, what do you want? We want goals, we want chances, we want people in the stadium. I’ve been saying it since I was at Benfica. Every time a player does that I think they should get a yellow card.”
The 45-year-old believes that if the Spaniard wasn’t fouled a lot, he would have got his first goal of the campaign already.
Bruno Lage said: “He’s been unlucky in those situations. You can imagine if Adama scored five or six goals from the situations then we have more points and he is doing something fantastic.”
