Bentancourt is set to be severely punished.
British media 'Sports Bible' reported on the 13th (Korea Standard Time) that "Rodrigo Bentancourt is expected to be severely punished in the soccer world for racist remarks."
An incident has happened that should not have happened. Bentancourt made racist remarks about Son on the football program 'For La Camisetta' broadcast in Uruguay. About his Tottenham teammate Son Heung-min during the broadcast, Bentancourt said, "They all look the same."
The racist remarks naturally sparked criticism on social media, and Bentancourt made a public apology to Son. Bentancourt shared a message on social media expressing regret for her joke.
Bentancourt posted on her Instagram, "Sonnie! That was a really bad joke, I really apologize! You know I love you and won't ignore you or hurt you or anyone. I love you, bro."
Son Heung-min posted on his SNS account, "I spoke with Bentancourt. He made the mistake and apologized when he found out. Bentancourt didn't mean to say anything insulting on purpose. We are brothers and nothing has changed at all."
Son went on to say, "We are past this, we are united and we will be united again in the pre-season and fight for the club."
Despite Son Heung-min's remarks, things got bigger and bigger, and on October 12 (Korea time), it was reported that Bentancourt was indicted by the English Football Association (FA). The FA released a statement saying, "Rodrigo Bentancourt has been charged with violating FA regulations E3 for misconduct related to media interviews."
The FA's regulations on cheating, which cover E3.1 and E3.2, state: "[Rule E3.1] that a participant shall always act in the best interests of the game, and shall not engage in inappropriate or discrediting acts, violent acts, serious foul play, threats, abusive language, obscene or insulting words or actions or combinations thereof."
It is also said that "violation of Regulation E3.1 constitutes a 'weighted violation' if it includes express or implied references to one or more of ethnic origin, skin color, race, nationality, religion or belief, gender, gender transition, sexual orientation or disability."
Bentancourt faced calls from the FA for a lengthy ban due to the comments. And now, according to a report by the British media Daily Mirror, Tottenham are preparing to punish Bentancourt for seven games in the country. 바카라사이트

Bentancourt will miss important upcoming matches against Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City, as well as the Carabao Cup quarterfinals against Manchester United. Bentancourt will return on Boxing Day.
