Peter Schmeichel criticized referee Michael Oliver for sending off Leandro Trossard during a crucial Premier League match, arguing that it disrupted a high-stakes game.
Schmeichel remarked, "This is the biggest game in the Premier League so far! Soft yellow cards! Why is Michael Oliver trying to ruin it?" He emphasized that the emotional intensity of such matches should be acknowledged by referees.
He noted, "It's a big game, emotions are flying high, understand what you are dealing with here, but no, Michael Oliver wants himself in the spotlight!" This highlights his frustration with Oliver's approach in high-pressure situations.
The incident marks a troubling trend as it is the second time this season that a player from Mikel Arteta's squad has faced dismissal for similar conduct, raising questions about officiating consistency.
