The victory of Stuttgart at home Go Ahead Eagles (4-0), counting for the Europa League, was calm, but there was a moment of tension in the final stretch of the match, in the 73rd minute.
In midfield, Victor Edvardsen committed a hard foul on Atakan Karazor and a little confusion arose between players from both teams. The situation, however, only escalated when Edvardsen, who had recently joined the Dutch team, mocked the Angelo StillerStuttgart midfielder.
The German international wasn’t happy, he responded to the provocation and both ended up seeing a yellow card.
At the end of the match, Wesley Sneijder, a former Dutch player for clubs such as Inter of Milan, the Real Madrid and the Ajaxleft harsh criticisms of Edvardsen’s attitude.
“He has to go to the locker room and apologize. This is bullying. We know of many examples where this ended badly. It’s a serious matter”, said Sneijder, on the Ziggo.
«As a club, they should take this boy by the ear and take him to the Stuttgart locker room. As a player, you are an example. Children see this and cannot begin to think it is normal. If you ask me, he’s not right in the head. We’d better stop talking about this: the more I talk, the angrier I get,” he added.
In turn, Edvardsen said he would apologize to Stiller if he saw him after the meeting.
“I haven’t apologized yet. I don’t know if I’ll do it. It wasn’t necessary, but I wanted to wake up my team and the adrenaline kicked in. It wasn’t planned. If I find him, I can apologize. He also said things you didn’t see. He should also apologize,” he said, quoted by Telegraph.
At 24 years old, Angelo Stiller is one of Stuttgart’s leading figures and has been appointed to several of Europe’s biggest clubs. This season, he has one goal and six assists in 19 games.
