Rodrigo Bentancourt is too hot-tempered.
Tottenham is playing an away match against Chelsea in the 30th round of the 2024-2025 English Premier League (EPL) at Stemford Bridge in London, England, at 4 a.m. on the 4th (Korea time). The first half ended 0-0.
At the end of the first half, a war of nerves between the two teams broke out fiercely. Tottenham's counterattack was blocked when Levi Colwill committed a foul on Mickey van der Penn. At this time, when Colwill did not return the ball immediately, Christian Romero hit Colwill. Colwill naturally collapsed, and the struggle began when Trevor Chalobah, who watched it, grabbed Romero by the collar and rushed in.
At this time, Tottenham players and Chelsea players rushed in and tried to separate the two players. Bentancur also initially stepped in between the two players to close the war of nerves. At this time, when Chalobah violently shook the hand of Bentancur who grabbed his uniform and removed it, Bentancur suddenly began to run at Chalobah as well.
It was a war of nerves that would have been solved if Romero and Chalobah were separated, but the argument between the two players ignited further. Eventually, Dominic Solanke, James Maddison, Van der Penn, and Guglielmo Vicario rushed to calm the excited Bentancur.
When Bentancourt did not subside even though his teammates stuck together and calmed down like this, Son Heung-min, who was on the other side of the stadium, eventually ran. Eventually, the two players were divided between the two teams. Vicario hand-pushed Bentancur, who continued to pour out harsh words, so that he wouldn't even go to Chalobah's side. If Son Heung-min moved with Bentancourt, his anger would now calm down. This is because even the captain came forward and stopped him like this.
Nevertheless, Bentancourt couldn't control his anger even when he was caught by Son Heung-min and tried to run to Chalobah again. Son Heung-min eventually tried to stop Bentancourt and scolded Bentancourt with a strong tone. Only then did Bentancur seem to have his anger subside, but he didn't seem to be listening to Son Heung-min properly.
Even Tottenham fans are familiar with Bentancourt's hot-tempered appearance. Last season, when coach Enze Postecoglou replaced him, he threw a water bottle and kicked the bench, which was controversial. Shortly after, he was suspended for four games for throwing a water bottle at the crowd while playing for the Uruguayan national team.
