Carvajal: Bad news about Yeremy Pino, guilty of the bad fault
Yeremy Pino had a difficult weekend after being involved in the unfortunate incident that led to Dani Carvajal’s serious injury, which will sideline the Real Madrid player for a year. Pino, the young Villarreal player, was already struggling after witnessing the injury of Marc-André ter Stegen in a previous match. At just 21 years old, Pino is going through a challenging period, despite receiving support from his teammates.
During Villarreal’s match against Real Madrid on the ninth day of La Liga, Pino, who had just entered the game, attempted to intercept one of Carvajal’s late clearances. Unfortunately, the interception went wrong, resulting in a triple ligament tear for the Madrid defender.
Pino was devastated by the incident and, according to *Marca*, could not hold back tears in the locker room. He even went to the Madrid dressing room to check on Carvajal and was visibly shaken by the injury to his senior teammate from the national team. Pino remained emotionally distraught for hours, despite efforts from his teammates to comfort him.
This is not the first time Pino has found himself at the center of such an incident. During Villarreal’s match against Barcelona a few weeks ago, he collided with Marc-André ter Stegen, leading to the German goalkeeper suffering a knee ligament injury that ended his season prematurely.
For Pino, the upcoming international break is seen as a chance to regain his mental composure before La Liga resumes. Fortunately, Real Madrid fans have expressed their support, making it clear that they do not blame Pino for the incident. It was also noted that a different decision, such as a clearance from Andriy Lunin as suggested by Antonio Rüdiger and Federico Valverde, might have prevented Carvajal’s injury.
