EPL: Why I kissed Bentancur after red card against Man United — Tottenham coach

Tottenham coach Roberto De Zerbi revealed that he kissed Uruguay midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur after the team's 1-1 draw against Manchester United, demonstrating the club's need for "character." Bentancur came into the match in the 66th minute to replace Lucas Bergvall, but his time on the field was brief as he received a red card for headbutting United left-back Luke Shaw.

The referee's decision was harsh, but De Zerbi defended it, stating that the red card showcased the team's character. "Football is like this. I think this character, I like the situation with Rodrigo [Bentancur] with the red card. We need it in this moment, this situation. Not to bring a red card, but we have not accepted the defeat. We have to not accept conceding a goal," De Zerbi told Sky Sports following the game.
