Gnagnon apologizes for 鈥榟einous鈥 Larouci tackle
Print Edition
Sevilla鈥檚 Joris Gnagnon has apologized for his 鈥渉einous鈥 tackle on Liverpool youngster Yasser Larouci which led to the Sevilla defender being sent off during a preseason friendly in Boston.
Gnagnon launched a wild challenge on the 18-year-old Larouci, which launched him into the air and led him to being carried off on a stretcher during Liverpool鈥檚 1-2 defeat at Fenway Park on Sunday. 鈥淚 would like to publicly apologize toward Liverpool, the family of the player and its supporters,鈥 Gnagnon posted on Twitter. 鈥淚t was a heinous act on my part. Whatever the reason, it鈥檚 not what should be seen on a football pitch. All my prayers are with the player and his family.鈥 Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp was watching his words in post-match interviews, but confirmed Larouci was 鈥渓ucky鈥 to have avoided a serious injury. 鈥淚t is much too early in the season to create headlines by saying the things I think about the situation,鈥 the German manager told reporters. 鈥淥f course, how it always is with these things, we have to wait a little bit. He hit him full throttle and, in that moment, (if it was) a little bit different position where he hit him, then it鈥檚 done. He rolls ... he is a sports boy so that was OK, nothing happened there.鈥 Sevilla boss Julen Lopetegui spoke to Klopp after the match to check on Larouci and admitted Gnagnon knew he made a mistake.
