We have to find a way to get a red card from the violent ones who have taken over football. Hector Fabio Baezgeneral manager of Juniorrecognizes the enormous damage that brawls and excesses such as those carried out by fans of Magdalena Union and Junior, last Saturday at the Sierra Nevada stadium, in Santa Marta, during the match of day 17 of the League that was tied 1-1.
The clashes left one person dead, Barça supporter Brandon Gustavo Somoza Gutiérrez, and several injured and detained.
“It is unfortunate that a sport like soccer, which gives recreation to fans, to families, ends in a pitched battle between fans of both clubs, when they should enjoy soccer, get people back on stage. This harms the cities, the teams, the football industry, it harms the new fans who prefer to watch Manchester United, Barcelona and other clubs on television than to be a fan of a Colombian team, because they don’t like what you see here, what you witness,” said Báez in dialogue with THE HERALD.
