(Celtic 1-4 Sparta Prague) Mohamed Elyounoussi (26) was filmed by television cameras while using his mobile phone on the bench for the Celtics 1-4 loss to Sparta Prague. Now the Norwegian explains his version of the case after receiving criticism.
– First of all: this is unacceptable to me. “I have spoken with both the coach and the captain, and the case is dead between us,” the winger of the national team told VG on Friday night.
Former Celtic player Chris Sutton killed the Norwegian on television, and also coach Neil Lennon announced that he would take action when asked about the Norwegian after the 1-4 loss to Andreas Vindheim and Sparta Prague.
According to “Moi” himself, he has spoken with the Celtic boss about Thursday night’s episode. Elyounoussi also wants to explain to the outside world what happened when he sat on the bench after being replaced:
– The phone is out of your pocket. I have warnings from Milan-Lille, that is, the second match in our group, and should check the result in that match, says the 26-year-old.
– Stupid of me
He points out that the television pictures show him looking at the phone for two or three seconds, reacting to the result (3-0 to Lille) and putting it back on.
– In any case, it is stupid of me to put myself in that situation. I lie down and accept the punishment that I possibly receive, says Moi.
Coach Neil Lennon confronted television footage of the Norwegian after the match.
– It’s better for him that he hasn’t. This is something I have to deal with, Lennon reacts to BT Sport.

Former Celtic player Chris Sutton went a bit further in his remarks. He called the Norwegian wing “selfish” and “selfish”.
– It’s totally unacceptable, it’s scandalous. Does this matter to you at all? Does the club matter to you? he asked in the BT Sports studio after the game and thought the Norwegian should be fined two weeks’ salary.
To Sutton’s descriptions of being “selfish,” Elyonoussi responds as follows:
– I heard what Sutton says, and that’s one hundred percent wrong. On the contrary. I’m very dedicated, says the national team player.
Will Suttons rant:
Lennon’s Celtic had a very bad day at work and have only one point from three Europa League games.
– It is unacceptable. Lack of will and lack of hunger. As a coach, I have to take responsibility, but the games have to see themselves as individuals, says Neil Lennon.
