Even the SPINS union intervened, arguing that the disciplinary judge of the Football Association of Slovenia should consider mitigating circumstances. Celje even organized a press conference to explain what happened… All in all, it had an effect, Luka Menalo did not receive as severe a punishment as he undoubtedly could have. The player from the leading Telemach First League club will rest for two games, or just the weekend. He served the first part of the penalty against Bravo, and the second will be on Saturday against Rogaška.
Luka Menalo, who plays in Slovenia as a loaned player from Dinamo Zagreb, lost his temper completely at the end of the match against Mura in Murska Sobota. In the middle of the field, far away from the ball, he charged at the home player Leard Sadriu and pushed him to the ground. Then he shouted at him, and his teammates had quite a job calming him down or dragging him away from the center of the action.
The reason for the outburst of the former member of Olimpija was a verbal duel with a player from the Prekmurje club. The latter allegedly said something inappropriate to him, which, in the light of a “family tragedy,” as explained by Celje, completely threw Menalo off track. Anyway, the matter is closed, and Luka Menalo will rest only tomorrow, then Celje coach Damir Krznar will be able to count on him again.
