Former West Ham and Aston Villa midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker, now a CBS Sports pundit, has criticized Como coach Cesc Fabregas for physically pulling on AC Milan's Alexis Saelemaekers during their recent 1-1 draw. The incident occurred when Saelemaekers was defending along the touchline and Fabregas held his shirt, enabling Como to break up the pitch.
Saelemaekers reacted with immediate fury, while Fabregas later apologized. However, during Milan's pre-match discussion against Parma, Reo-Coker firmly stated, 'To do that, it's inexcusable... It's completely wrong.' The incident has been widely debated since it occurred last week.
