Diego Carlos reacts on French referee's decision
Diego Carlos of FC Nantes recently become part of a controversy when French referee Tony Chapron sent him off by showing a red card in a Frensch Ligue-1 match between FC Nantes and Paris-St Germain.
He admitted on Tuesday that he was left flummoxed after referee's decision.
"I did not understand at the time what had happened," the 24-year-old told Nantes' website.
"He fell to the ground and then I looked at him when he gave me a kick on the leg and I said 'what have you done?' and then he gave me a yellow and a red."
In the 87th minute of the match, Carlos unintentionally collided with the match referee Chapron.
The 45-year-old referee stumbled and fell to the ground and kicked Diego Carlos with his right boot and flourished a second yellow card at Carlos.
The red card has since been rescinded, making him available for Wednesday's match at Toulouse.
"I am very happy that I will be able to play at Toulouse," he added.
