What the referee of the football match said about the baby attacked by Hernán Grana: “He continued to insult me”

The figure of the former right back of Platense, Boca, Lanús, Ferro and currently of All Boys, Hernan Grana, was marred by an unfortunate situation last weekend. He was the protagonist of a video that went viral on social media when he entered the field where his 9-year-old son was playing a game of Child Football with the mission to rebuke and insult the referee for his performance. And after the player’s defense who explained the situation, it was the referee’s turn to give his version of the facts and thus add a new chapter to the plot.

“Get paid well, let’s go! Hit Gordo, get paid well! She’s grabbing him by the shirt!“were the screams of Grana that one of those present at the neighborhood club filmed with his cell phone. They came from behind one of the goals of the field, a place where the player was drinking mate, dressed casually, before interrupting the progress of the game your little one and his friends to come face to face with the referee.

The error occurred during a match that Grana’s son was playing at home with his team against Racing. Likewise, even though he was present on the field where the boy trains every week, the public present did not hesitate to boo the father who caused tension to fill the children of both clubs.

Ernesto Suasnabar it is the name of the judge with whom Grana met screwed up. During the player’s reprimands, the referee always turned a deaf ear to the situation and tried to decompress it by chatting with the children as if nothing was happening around them. He is continually shown trying to turn away from the insults. Even when the player had to be expelled from the club, with the help of several men who decided to remove him from the central circle of the pitch.

“First he scolded me, raised his voice and first I reported what happened to the delegate. She stood there and didn’t calm down. She yelled at me again and I threw her out.“, commented the referee in conversation with El Trece to tell his version of events.

“When I threw him out he got on the field, and well, when I forced him to get thrown out, From the door of the room he followed me, insulting me, telling me everything“, continued Ernesto, who denied that there was “physical aggression” during the situation.

Suasnabar He has been a referee of children’s games for 24 years.. From the beginning of the century his whistle became an extension of his body. But the exposure to receiving insults is a situation from which Suasnabar suffers more and more often as time goes by. “Unfortunately it is very common. More protests, verbal and physical attacks. People are very violent. During the week you prepare how to face the day”, she confessed during the interview.

Likewise, it exempts children who dream of becoming professional players from any type of responsibility and is aimed at adults. “The child is harmed by the big ones. You talk to children and they understand you easily. The problem is the parents, the technicians and the delegates.”And she underlined:”Kids become violent due to parental pressure“.

In this context, the referee goes back in time and states that the controversy that involved him with Grana is not the first time it has happened to him in his career. “It happened to me that I had to stop the match and all the boys were crying because of the pressure they were putting on them. If I hear a father sending his son to beat another, I have to expel him” Ernesto said in relation to the new compromising situation experienced last weekend.

The liberation of Hernán Grana

While the match between All Boys and Quilmes was taking place, for the Primera Nacional, Grana were in the eye of the storm when their tense video was made public in the middle of a childish match.

So hours later, perhaps upon returning from the match against Cervecero, the team of 38 years old from the previous stages through Platense, Boca, Lanús, Belgrano and Ferro made his respective farewell through social networks.

“I take responsibility for this completely inappropriate and excessive reaction of mine, it’s not right, especially coming from a professional like me”he took a side by doing a my fault publicly. Although he denied having the intention of “hitting anything. “I want to tell him not to let the kids hit each other.”

“Anyone who knows me knows what kind of person I am and even more so with children.. I apologize because it was not the way or the time to talk to the referee, especially because of the children, but My only goal was to stop them from being together anymore.“Grena added in his message.

Although the situation did not stop there. After explaining his part, the defender used the last lines of his speech to attack all those who went against him. “It makes me sad and angry that there are people who want to dirty my person but I have a clear conscience about what kind of person I am.. What was shown in the video did not correspond to the truth of what happened. It is clear that I never want to attack anyone,” she said.

Grana did not remain silent on this line and, in closing, he warned: “I will go to the end against those who wanted to dirty me. Because you can say and think whatever you want about the way I play but not about me personally. “I won’t let him.”
