During the statutory 90 minutes of a football match, anything can happen. Thrashes, injuries, fouls, free kicks, corner kicks and of course the friction between teams. Whether it be pushing, innings that destabilize the rival to fights in which the referee has to intervene and make use of the cards.
Sometimes, the altercations are solved with the yellow card, a form of warning for the player to get off the smoke and continue playing the game. However, things can get quite hot and footballers need more drastic measures, where they are necessarily expelled; and the referees make use of the controversial red cards.
Among the 5 players with the most accumulated red cards in their soccer career we have:
1. Gerardo Bedoya
The Colombian footballer, retired in 2015, played for the most important teams in Colombia such as Atlético Nacional, Millonarios and Santa Fe. In Mexico he played for Puebla and in Argentina for Boca Juniors, Racing and Colón.
In his 20-year soccer career, the Colombian received 46 red cards. Not happy with this record, and in his retirement, the former soccer player tried his luck as a technical assistant and later as a coach. In this new stage Bedoya already accumulates two red cards.
2. Cyril Rool
The French footballer, and who retired in 2010, received 27 red cards throughout his football career. Rool went through renowned French teams like Olympique Marseille and AS Monaco.
In addition, the ex-soccer player throughout his 17-year career, accumulated 187 yellow cards since he was known for "starting fights, attacking as if the rival player was his greatest enemy and giving karate kicks to opponents," according to the middle Fade Away.
3. Sergio Ramos
The current Real Madrid captain began his football career with Sevilla before joining the merengue club in 2005. Since then, Ramos has been an important part of the Spanish team. The player accumulates 25 red cards throughout his career.
The last one was won in the league game against Girona last February. Given that he has no plans for an upcoming retirement, Ramos is likely to exceed the number of cards Rool has, as it is not a secret characterized by losing his temper; in addition to committing 'innocent offenses'.
4. Alexis Ruano
The Spanish footballer began his career in 2004 by joining the Málaga Club Deportivo. From that moment he played for Getafe, Valencia and in 2016 he left La Liga for Turkey to play with the Besiktas team.
Throughout his time at La Liga, he accumulated 22 red cards and his temperament was one of his biggest problems. Among his most remembered fouls is the one he gave the Croatian Mario Mandzukic in 2014 when Getafe faced Atlético de Madrid for the La Liga tournament.
5. Paolo Montero
The Uruguayan player holds the record for most red cards in Italy's Serie A with 21 red cards. In his 17-year career, he played mainly under Juventus, Atalanta; and in Uruguay he played for Peñarol, a team that saw his retirement.
He currently serves as coach of the Italian team Sambenedettese. His fouls were characterized because in almost all he tackled his opponents. Montero is also remembered for his popular phrase that justified his actions: "sometimes you have to do anything to win and that is my nature."
