What happened last Sunday during the derby between Atlético and real Madrid in the Metropolitan it continues to bring a queue. This Tuesday, Carlo Ancelotti has hit out at Cholo Simeone for his statements about throwing objects at Courtois during the match: “I’m respectful, but talking about his behavior during a match in which they yelled at him, die, is to deflect the shot. It’s simple. I don’t have to add more.”
“Talking about other things that have happened is diverting the shotand the point is that the violent, not only from Atlético, from any team, cannot be on a field. Football does not need these characters, they are unnecessary. It is better that they stay somewhere else where they are not dangerous. It doesn’t matter what the club is, the violent ones are better off leaving us alone,” added the Italian coach in the press conference prior to the second day of the Champions League, in which the whites will face Lille.
What Carletto did not comment on when asked was what happened at the end of the game, when, after the game was stopped for 22 minutes due to objects thrown from the south end of the Metropolitano, the mattress players went to applaud to the fans who were in that area.
“I don’t want to comment on what the behavior of other people and colleagues whom I respect a lot may be. I don’t want to comment on this at all.“, he concluded.
What the Italian coach did want to do is ask for a tougher hand with the violent fans to put an end to their presence in the stadiums: “I respect everyone’s opinion, but the issue is quite clear. The match had violent acts and Violent people cannot be on a football field or in society.. “It’s what happened and I try to respect all opinions, but everyone has seen what happened.”
