Following Dieumerci Mbokani’s four-match suspension, his coach, John Van Den Brom, addressed the issue. Van Den Brom expressed the belief that four matches were too severe a punishment, citing instances where other red cards had different consequences. He also mentioned that Mbokani is not always protected and is sometimes mistreated by opposing defenders. However, the coach advised Mbokani to be smarter and not fall for provocations. Despite the suspension, Van Den Brom emphasized that he couldn’t fine Mbokani and considered the public reprimand in the press as his punishment.
