The tense face to face between a footballer led by Simeone and the ‘ultras’ of Atlético de Madrid

It was a night to forget for those who have been guided Diego Simeonewhich for the second date of LaLiga, have been largely surpassed by the Villarreal and fell 2-0 at home. The Argentines are the protagonists: for the performance of Rulli, for the weak game of Nahuel Molina, and for the crossing between De Paul and Lo Celso. But the news was in the stands.

And it is more the event in question occurred after the referee had signaled the end of the match. When the Atlético de Madrid men who had not added minutes took the field to carry out the activation movements: the fans aimed all the artillery at Mario Hermoso, defender of the ‘mattress’ team. The defender has been pointed out for his past at Real Madrid and has not accepted the insults.

Hermoso did inferior in the ‘Merengue’, although he did not make his First Division debut. He crossed paths in 2019, from Espanyol, but his white past and his irregularity behind “Atleti” angered fans. First they were insults and then bottles rained down. The violence began to escalate and, far from stopping it, the defender took up the provocations.

Totally enraptured by the attitude of the fans of his own team, the native of the Spanish capital headed to the area where the famous ‘ultras’ are located and came face to face with many of the disapproving fans. The bullets kept flying, and there were moments of tension, until Simeon’s assistants finally removed him from the post.

In addition, the intervention of the security forces and the National Police was necessary to separate Hermoso from the fans. Some of his peers like Antoine Griezmann or Saul NiguezThey looked at what happened. It should be noted that ‘Grizi’ was another one of those reported by fansand some versions assure that it was the insults to the French that triggered Hermoso’s reaction.

Once the situation calmed down, with the player on the pitch and the fans in the stands during the discussion, the defender turned again and headed towards the fans. In between, Geoffrey Kondogbia and José María Giménez attempted to contain him. Eventually the uproar took place and the player was able to resume the reserve exercises.

And despite the fact that the situation could have ended much worse, it greatly complicates Hermoso’s continuity at Atlético de Madrid. Simeone is satisfied with his team and will try to keep this squad for the rest of the year. but the relationship between the defender and the red and white fans seems unsustainable.

Atlético are looking for the fan who insulted Hermoso

After the fight and the general anger due to the reaction of the fans against Mario Hermoso, comes the intervention of the company. From the Athletes, they try to find the fans who caused the riot, to sanction them. From the club, they pointed out: “Atleti does not tolerate any player being insulted”.

In the event that the protagonists of this shameful affair were finally found, the disciplinary regime of the club would be applied to them. It contemplates several actions, including temporary or even permanent expulsion fan according to the RFEF Disciplinary Code. Will there be a right of admission?
