Nigel de Jong doesn't think challenge was rough
Thursday, 17 June 2010
After the game against Denmark
there was much ado in the Dutch media about the rough
challenge of Nigel de Jong on Denmark's Jörgensen.
Most pundits agreed the Manchester
City player was lucky he didn't get sent off for it.
The player himself doesn't agree
and says he has the referee on his side.
"I didn't see it like that.
I was very aware of it at the moment when it happened.
It was a fifty-fifty situation, and I got the ball.
It was him or me. The referee came up to me afterwards
and said he had seen no reason to give me a yellow card.
So that's how it is and then you move on."
