As the duel against Elche approaches, the club has decided to pay tribute to the Transandean players who won the World Cup. However, the response was very different from what the French team teams experienced.
After the World Cup in Qatar 2022, the national competitions of the different countries have returned. One of the first countries to return was England with the FA Cup. Since then, other competitions such as the French and the Spanish have followed.
Of course, in the first duels, the teams could not count on some players, notably the French and Argentinian teams who reached the World Cup final, since their holidays began after that .
One of the teams that had to wait was Atlético de Madrid, a team that included selected French and Trans-Andean teams. Thus, last weekend during the match against Elche, the mattress team decided to pay tribute to its medal-winning players in the international competition.
The first reconnaissance lap brought him the Croatian Ivo Grbić who with his selection reached third place. When entering the field, he was applauded by the public present in the stadium. Then Antoine Griezmann followed with the same result. .
Of course, during the presentation of the Argentine champions Rodrigo DePaul, Angel Correa and Nahuel Molina the reaction of the participants was not what was expected. As the voice from the stadium announced them, a different sound began to sound. To the closed applause of the first players, were now added blunders, boos and even insults as evidenced by a video posted by the club on Tik Tok.
This situation triggered the unease of the players, even though they knew how to save the day by greeting people in the stands and concentrating on applause.
In Spain they tried to clarify this change in reactions. As wrote that “fans chanted the name of Ángel Correa, a much-loved Atlético player, giving the impression that the whistles weren’t going to the striker.”
“The one who is singled out is De Paul, absent from the game. The player arrived with hamstring discomfort that prevented him from playing. The fans understand that he gave everything for his country while his commitment to Atlético is not the same.”
