Former German international demands exemplary punishment for Argentina: "Paredes and Nahuel Molina should be suspended for a year"

Dietmar Hamann demands severe punishments for the violent incidents after the World Cup final that Spain won against Argentina

Dietmar Hamann, a Bayern Munich player from 1993 to 1998 who was capped 59 times for the Germany national team, was very blunt when analyzing the violent reaction of some Argentina players after losing the World Cup final against Spain.'

The former footballer demands severe punishments for Nahuel Molina (he punched Rodri) and Leandro Paredes (he grabbed Eric García by the neck and threw Gavi to the ground).

"I would suspend both of them for a year and then let them decide if they want to come back. But this kind of behavior is unacceptable," declared the current 52-year-old coach on "Sky Sport Austria".

They have destroyed much of the goodwill they had earned, largely thanks to Messi, of course

Hamann demands a reaction from UEFA to these acts of violence: "This must be punished, and they should not be too lenient. I would suspend both of them for 12 months".

The former German footballer believes that with these incidents the Argentina national team has harmed itself and "they have destroyed much of the goodwill they had earned, largely thanks to Messi, of course".

For the moment, the FIFA has officially opened disciplinary proceedings to investigate the incidents after the match that Spain won 1-0 against Argentina.

'Gavi: "I don't think they should be suspended, there's that part of football that is a bit more violent"'

Gavi was asked whether the Argentine footballers should be sanctioned by FIFA for their attitude in the final.

"No, to tell you the truth I don't think they should have to be suspended. I understand that it's not a good image for children, but there's also that side of football that is a bit more violent. Perhaps the most logical thing for me would be to send him off in the match and that's it, but as I say, in the end I think it's all football and it has to be that way," he replied in a conciliatory tone.
