SEVEN FAMOUS FOOTBALLERS WHO NEVER RECEIVED A RED IN THEIR CAREER

Joao Mouthino is one



The seasoned Portuguese have played a crucial role for the Wolves as well as the Portugal national team for many years. He has played for a number of organizations, including AS Monaco, FC Porto, and Sporting CP. He is one of the few athletes who has never been sent off in his career.




Xavi Hernandez 2.



The Spanish captain has always served as a role model for aspiring footballers of all levels for being a card-free player and playing with ease. The former Barcelona player and current coach has played in 767 club matches overall and has earned 133 caps for the national team without receiving a red card.




Ryan Giggs 3.

The storied Welsh athlete has long served the rural community. Since 1991, the Manchester United player has represented both the club and the nation. He has made 632 appearances for the club and 64 for his country, and he has never been sent off for receiving a red card.



Karim Benzema, No. 4


Karim Benzema, a recent Ballon d'Or winner and forward for Real Madrid, has been scoring spectacular goals for the club over the past several seasons while remaining a member. He was also a fantastic future striker for the French National team. He has participated in 413 games for the club, and thanks to his lovely style of play, he has not yet been sent off.



Raul Gonzalez, 5.
The storied former Real Madrid player was a top-tier Spanish forward player who never had a red card during his playing career. He is still considered a Real Madrid icon.



Iniesta, Andreas


In his career, he twice took home the best player award. The current sports presenter has played for a number of clubs throughout the course of his career, including Leicester City, Spurs, and FC Barcelona, yet his playing style and philosophy have never earned him a red card.


Chelsea already have an advantage with a £52 million star that could unleash Enzo Fernandez in a transfer repeat. 


Chelsea transfer news: Mauricio Pochettino has the chance to trigger a key release clause for Enzo Fernandez's ideal teammate this summer.

 

Part of Mauricio Pochettino's immediate agenda at Chelsea will be working out ways he can get the best out of Enzo Fernandez. Having played in every game since joining the club in January, he has impressed across the midfield, but still, the sense is that much more is to come.

He is in the top 10 for players with the most completed passes per 90 and has a staggeringly large pass distance considering his freshness to the league. He is also yet to be part of a functional unit, a settled team, or in his best position.

When it comes to getting the best out of him, Chelsea are reportedly set to rival Liverpool and Aston Villa for a player he is familiar with, at least. Portuguese outlet Record writes that Manuel Ugarte of Sporting CP is one of the players being considered this summer.

The 22-year-old is a physical specimen for his age and became the youngest player to play in Uruguay's top division this century when he made his Fenix debut at age 15. He has allowed Ruben Amorim's ever-impressive side to flourish with more adventurous players alongside him.

It is said that Villa have "taken notes" on him, but the Blues could have an advantage after securing deals in Portugal already this year. Todd Boehly has already become acquainted with the league after spending time in the summer speaking to Jorge Mendes, an agent that will oversee Ugarte's summer dealings.

Boehly has also attempted to purchase several clubs in Portugal as part of Chelsea's new multi-club group. They were locked into negotiations in the winter for Fernandez before Behdad Eghbali made the move to push a deal across the line. This all represents a chance for the Blues to get in for Ugarte here and offer the perfect teammate for Fernandez under Pochettino.
