Xavi Simons has finally spoken out following his costly first-half red card in a fiery clash involving Liverpool, and his comments have already sparked intense debate among fans.
The Dutch star admitted he rarely complains, but insisted that one Liverpool player “knew exactly what he was doing” and deliberately played with his emotions before the sending off.
According to Simons, the incident didn’t happen in isolation. He hinted at repeated provocation in the build-up to the challenge that saw him dismissed, suggesting the Liverpool player involved expertly pushed him to the limit during the opening exchanges of the match.
The controversial red card proved to be a turning point, leaving Simons’ side at a major disadvantage and shifting momentum firmly in Liverpool’s favour. While officials stood by the decision, Simons’ comments have reignited discussions about mind games, gamesmanship, and how experienced Premier League players use psychology to gain the upper hand.
Liverpool, for their part, have remained silent on the issue, but fans are already speculating about the identity of the player Simons referred to. With tensions still high, this latest revelation only adds more spice to an already heated rivalry.
