On 18th of January 2012, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Spanish Cup, Real Madrid 0-2 FC Barcelona, Pepe seems to have lost it once again…
Some of Pepe’s history below:
Kepler Laveran Lima Ferreira (born 26 February 1983), aka Pepe, is a Brazilian-born Portuguese footballer who plays for Real Madrid in La Liga.
On 10 July 2007, Real Madrid signed Pepe to a five-year contract for a fee of €30 million.
In 2009, he was involved in a fight during training with teammate Javier Balboa.
On 21 April 2009, he was involved in an incident with Getafe CF’s Javier Casquero: He brought down the midfielder in the penalty area and was subsequently sent off. He then kicked the fallen opponent twice (on his shin and lower back). When being pulled away from Casquero, he also pushed his head into the turf and stamped on him several times. He also struck another Getafe player, Juan Albin, in the face. He eventually received a 10-game ban.
On 27 April 2011, in the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg, he was sent off for a controversial dive at Daniel Alves (check for yourself here) early in the second half in an eventual 2–0 home loss.
On 12 July 2011, Pepe extended his contract again until 2016.
Pepe out of football now !!!
Pepe ought to be commended for doing what the referee is paid to do but refuses. He is the one man anti-diving committee and should be left to his devices since he currently stands alone. Messi asked him to step on his hand went he so easily went to ground and stayed there. I will respect the champagne football that Barça play when they stop diving every 3 minutes and surrounding the ref after every call. Sanchez out of football now! Iniesta out of football now!! Alves out of football now!! Pedro out of football now!! They are liars and disgrace to the beautiful game.
Interesting point of view my friend, it seems U r a big fan of pepe and his on field activities. Have U ever played football ,my friend?
pepe is really idiot!!!unless a serious measuremet is taken ,for his floosh act,it is difficult to pridict where the foot ball is progressing.he really lacks a part of his brain;he better to see a psychiatrist.Dell he is!!!
Interesting point of view ! Busquets probably asked for the hard tackle on his ankle, and Casquero a few years ago for a few kicks on his chin, back… Yes Some FC Barcelona players dive, just like in any other teams. But Pepe’s repeated disgraceful actions are just not what Real Madrid ought to be showing to the world. At least this is what we think here, according to the poll results !
If anyone thinks what pepe did was a good thing, than obviously they know next to nothing about what good football is. And if anyone believes him when he says its unintentional is even stupider than he is. From the replay anyone can clearly see him looking down to see where messi’s hand was if they have eyes in their sockets. Pepe ought to be suspended for what he did.
