This week I will write about only one event that although being a couple of weeks old I think it is still of interest.
The subject is about the incidents after the soccer game of Portugal against Serbia, in which the Portuguese coach Scolari tried to punch a Serbian player. Right after the match, the reaction of the Portuguese coach was very disappointing because he claimed that he didn’t tried to attack the player and that he was just trying to push away the Serbian player because he tried to attack a Portuguese player. Well, the images show what really happened and it’s sad that he did that.
Afterwards, according to what I heard in the news, I found out that what he did was a reaction after the Serbian player insulted him and tried to hit him. As a penalty, the FIFA decided to suspend Scolari for four matches and the Serbian player for two.
My comments to this event are simple: Scolari shouldn’t have done what he did in any case whatever were the circumstances. And I do agree with the punishment of FIFA. He is a public figure and therefore he has special duties to accomplish. One of them is serving as an example to other people and to show what kind of people we (Portuguese) are. I felt ashamed with what he did even taking into account the fact that he later on did apologize for his action and attitude. He has to show more maturity and more cold blood in this kind of situations and for that reason he has no excuses.
The aspect I don’t agree in all of this is that the Serbian player got a less punishment. He did wrong and his actions were similar to the Portuguese coach, since even the referee told that the Serbian player did insult and tried to attack Scolari. I don’t understand why this happened, but the Serbian player should have equal penalty as Scolari.
