Wolves’ Nelson Semedo Discusses Suspension and Disputed Yellow Card

Wolves defender Nelson Semedo, who has now accumulated five yellow cards and will be suspended for his side’s upcoming match, shared his thoughts with Premier League Productions. He stated: “We weren’t hungry enough. We lost all of our duals and we weren’t good enough.” Semedo commented on the opposing team’s tactics, adding: “They pressed really well, but we knew that [they would]. We were prepared for that, but it didn’t go the way we wanted.” Expressing his frustration regarding the yellow card incident, Semedo said: “The way I got the yellow card, I was really mad with the referee. I saw him pointing and I thought it was a goal kick, so I was just clapping for his decision. Suddenly, he gave me a yellow card and he didn’t even let me try to explain to him.” He further elaborated on what he intended to communicate to the official: “I knew I already had a yellow card, that wouldn’t change, but I wanted to say to him: ‘No I’m not clapping because you say it’s a penalty or whatever. No, it is just because I thought it was a goal kick, that’s why’.” Semedo concluded by asserting his playing style: “I’m not that sort of player. I know I’m on four yellow cards so I wouldn’t do that if I was on four yellow cards.”
