Former Manchester United midfielder Anderson again sparked controversy in Brazil over the weekend.
Now with Internacional, Anderson has this week publicly apologised for an ugly confrontation with match officials during their clash with Atletico Mineiro.
The 27-year-old midfielder called the linesman a "b****rd" and then, after being shown a red card, branded the ref a "son of a w***e".
"It was a moment of irritation. I am a man and therefore I offer my sincere apologies," said Anderson.
Since his January arrival from United, Anderson has now been sent off twice for Inter.
