🚨Michael Olise on his controversial red card against Viking: 🗣️Honestly, I knew I was already on a yellow card, but the Viking player kept talking rubbish and trying to provoke me. I tried to ignore him, but at some point, I lost my patience. I picked up the ball and hit it straight at his face. Yes, I did it, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. Maybe I shouldn't have reacted that way, but players cannot keep provoking their opponents and expect no reaction. The referee showed me a second yellow card, and I had to leave the pitch. I understand the rules, but I also believe referees need to look at what happens before a player reacts. Some players know exactly how to get under your skin. They provoke you, talk rubbish, and then act like victims when you respond. I'm not proud of getting sent off, but I'm not going to sit here and pretend I wasn't provoked. At the end of the day, I have to take responsibility for my actions. But let's stop acting like provocation doesn't exist in football.
