In pereiras case especially, it’ll be a defence mechanism required due to the “attention “ he will receive
I hope aren’t going to try and justify his actions, especially with a poor excuse like that. The Derby dive, Huddersfield Dive, cut throat celebration and little tap on the players face are all unnecessary and we would go livid if that was any opposition player regardless.
If you going to be a shithouse, put a strong challenge in. Don’t behave like that. I hope he cuts it out because he is fantastic talent.
