Coach’s Statement
Frank shared his insights during an interview with TNT Sports. He acknowledged the referee’s decision but insisted that Romero did not mean to inflict harm. “He went clearly for the ball,” Frank stated, while recognizing the unfortunate reality of the rules that led to the red card.
