"He simply cannot do this." Coach refuses to defend Krejčí after foolish dismissal

Wolverhampton's coach Rob Edwards criticized Ladislav Krejčí for his behavior in a match against Crystal Palace, where Krejčí received a second yellow card, leading to the team's loss of 0:1.

In a disappointing outing for Wolverhampton Wanderers, their manager Rob Edwards did not hold back in criticizing defender Ladislav Krejčí after he received two yellow cards in quick succession during a Premier League match against Crystal Palace. The dismissal occurred just after the hour mark when Krejčí first fouled an opponent, Ismaila Sarr, and then compounded his errors by kicking the ball away, resulting in an unnecessary second yellow. This incident proved critical as Wolverhampton lost the tightly contested match 0:1.

Edwards spoke to Sky Sports, pointing out that the match's outcome hinged on two significant moments: the failure to convert a penalty earlier in the game and Krejčí's ill-advised red card. He emphasized the need for Krejčí to learn from this experience, stating, "He must learn from this; he simply cannot do that." The coach acknowledged that while Krejčí has been delivering excellent performances, this mistake ultimately cost the team valuable points in their fight against relegation.

With this defeat, Wolverhampton remains at the bottom of the Premier League standings with just 10 points. The loss intensifies the pressure on the team, who are struggling at the midway point of the season. Edwards’ comments reflect the frustration within the club as they seek to avoid relegation and find some consistency in their performances moving forward.
