OPEN LETTER TO UEFA PRESIDENT

Dear Mr. President,
During Euro-2012 Ireland-Armenia football game, on the 26th minute
referee Gonzales gave a red card to Armenian goalkeeper Roman
Berezovsky thinking that the latter had broken the rules and touched
the ball with hands.
The rules of the game were broken by Irish attacker Simon Cox,
when he stopped the ball with hands. He later admitted during his
interview with BBC that he really did brake the rules, while the
Armenian goalkeeper didn~Rt even touch the ball.
The fact that Cox had played with hands and Berezovsky didn~Rt touch
the ball, we became confident after re-watching the recording of
the game.
Armenia was battling for Euro-2012 for the first time and because of
the referee lost that opportunity.
As a world famous football player and a social figure we expect your
interference. UEFA must punish referee Gonzales and deprive him the
opportunity to continue his practice.
