“I wish the referee doesn’t decide tomorrow’s game. Referee, if you received a brown envelope under a desk, please ignore it. I am just asking the referee not to decide tomorrow’s game. I’m worried but I’m asking the referee to be neutral and not give out red cards recklessly,” concluded Junior on Diski TV, YouTube channel.
