That’s how he deals with a playground bully! A Chelsea footballer shoulder-butted him, then got a yellow card
When a fan runs onto the field, he often does it for publicity, to make a name for himself. But the players aren’t happy with that, and the heckler just takes them out of the momentum. So Chelsea footballer Sam Kerr had her own way of dealing with a fan on the pitch in a Champions League match.
When a fan runs onto the field, he often does it for publicity, to make a name for himself. But the players aren’t happy with that, and the heckler just takes them out of the momentum. So Chelsea footballer Sam Kerr had her own way of dealing with a fan on the pitch in a Champions League match.
There was a rather curious situation in Wednesday’s Women’s Champions League match between Chelsea and Juventus. A fan, apparently a blogger who wanted to make a name for himself and was filming his performance on his mobile phone, stormed onto the pitch.
But security couldn’t stop him, it almost looked like he didn’t even care. The troublemaker walked around the field for a few seconds and filmed his presence.
After a while, however, Chelsea player Sam Kerr couldn’t take it anymore and dealt with the troublemaker in her own way. When he started to run around the pitch, the number 20 player gave him a demonstration shoulder and tackled the fan to the ground.
She saw a yellow card from the head referee for her action, which the fans couldn’t understand. However, according to the rules, a player is not allowed to insult fans, so the referee had no choice.
A similar case happened recently in a match between Lišná and Brno, when two troublemakers entered the pitch and started aggressively attacking an elderly security guard. Lišná’s attacker Jan Silný put down the aggressor defender so that no one would get hurt. However, he saw a red card for his action.
