VIDEO: Unbelievable Attack on Koutsias by Teammate

An incredible incident occurred during a friendly match between Lugano and Viktoria Plzen, where Greek forward Giorgos Koutsias was attacked by his teammate, Kevin Behrens. Koutsias had just come on as a substitute in the 71st minute when, after a discussion with Behrens, the latter knocked him to the ground. The video of the incident has gone viral on social media, causing surprise and comment. The other players reacted immediately, managing to calm the situation and prevent further escalation. The cause of the attack is not yet clear, however, it appears to have stemmed from intense competition between the two players for a place in the starting lineup. Lugano reportedly worked hard on pressing during their pre-season preparations.
