Germany midfielder Aaron Hunt has admitted he is considering his Werder Bremen future despite being hailed for his good sportsmanship after refusing to accept a penalty decision in a match.
With Bremen 2-0 up at Nuremberg on Saturday, the 27-year-old told referee Manuel Graefe to reverse his 75th-minute decision when he awarded Werder a spot-kick.
“Out of instinct, I wanted to provoke the penalty, but that was wrong,” said Hunt. Hunt was rewarded for his honesty with a handshake from Pinola.
“I take my hat off to him,” said Pinola, while Nuremberg defender Mike Frantz added, “He showed why he’s their captain”.
