RC Lens striker M’Bala Nzola has taken to social media to apologize for his actions during Sunday’s match against FC Nantes. The 28-year-old Angolan player was sent off in the 70th minute after throwing the ball at the referee in frustration.
Nzola’s apology, posted on Instagram, acknowledged that his behavior may have given him a bad image and assured fans that it was not his intention. He expressed deep regret for his actions and accepted the consequences of his red card.
The incident occurred after Nzola felt a foul was not called, leading to his momentary lapse in judgment. Despite his initial enthusiasm after coming on as a substitute, Nzola’s motivation quickly turned to frustration, ultimately resulting in his ejection from the game.
Nzola’s apology has been well-received by RC Lens supporters, who appreciate his willingness to take responsibility for his actions. The striker’s future at the club remains uncertain, however, as his loan deal from Fiorentina is set to expire in June. RC Lens has a call option to make the transfer permanent, but it remains to be seen whether they will choose to exercise it.
In 20 appearances for RC Lens, Nzola has scored 7 goals and provided 1 assist. Despite his recent setback, he will be looking to redeem himself and prove his value to the team in the coming weeks.
