The yellow card received by Internacional forward Eduardo Sasha in the 1-0 home victory over Palmeiras on Wednesday night didn"t come by chance.
The player is suspended following his third yellow card, and will not be available for the club"s next Brasileirão fixture in Paraná against Coritiba on Saturday evening. After the game at Estádio Beira-Rio, Eduardo Sasha revealed that he was told by the coach Argel Fucks to get booked, so that he can have a rest as he"s been playing too much games. Sasha says he forced the booking by deliberately delaying the walk back to pitch in the second-half. However, Sasha still had to leave the field injured after feeling discomfort on his right-ankle and was replaced by Lisandro López. As mentioned in Globo Esporte, an examination is required to evaluate his condition. Sasha said: “I"ve been on a sequence of 11 games and was a little tired. Argel asked me to force the third [yellow card]."
