Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has called 'outstanding person' Rodrigo Bentancur an 'unbelievable team-mate' and supported Spurs' decision to appeal his ban.
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has called 'outstanding person' Rodrigo Bentancur an 'unbelievable team-mate' and supported Spurs' decision to appeal the length of his seven-match suspension for a racist remark about captain Heung-Min Son. Bentancur has been sanctioned over comments he made in an interview aired on Uruguayan TV in June. The 27-year-old was also fined £100,000 by the Football Association as part of the punishment.
'I haven't spoken to him since it came out. He's been away with Uruguay and he's not quite back yet. I'd spoken to him in the lead-up to it. As I said at the time, he understands he has made a mistake, he's prepared to accept whatever penalty comes his way and we as a club are going to support him. 'The one thing that's undeniable to me, because I know him, is he's an outstanding person. He's an unbelievable team-mate.
