Colo Colo remains shocked by the death of one of his fans during their international friendly against Universitario de Perú. Unfortunately, the violence of the bars occurred again in the Monumental Stadium, this time leaving a tragic outcome in its surroundings.
In the absence of several official voices from the club, the one who took the floor was Maximiliano Falcón, who after today’s training assured the media present that “it is regrettable to see how the situation ended. A shame for the family of the person who died.”
“Imagine that your son goes to watch a game and then they call you to tell you that news… It must be devastating. He sent a hug to his family. “I wouldn’t wish this on anyone,” he added.
Regarding the outrages that ended up suspending the match, the central defender toughened his speech by declaring that “they don’t realize that they continue to harm us. I heard that we could play without fans on Sunday in the Copa Chile, that influences us, because it is always good to have our fans in the stadium.”
“These things are beyond our control. We can do nothing but tell the fans to behave properly, because they are harming the team and the people who come to see us with their families,” he said.
In this regard, the Uruguayan said that “if you are a fan of the club, you come to support the club, win, lose or draw. We are in such a complicated moment in society, on social media, in the streets, there is insecurity, not only in Chile, in all countries.”
To conclude, and somewhat more resigned, Falcón declared that “obviously my words are not going to change the attitude of some, but because of a few, many people who come to enjoy the game pay. I am resigned.”
When does Colo Colo play again?
Cacique’s next match will be against O’Higgins for the Chile Cup this Sunday, June 30 at 5:30 p.m. at the Monumental. This match will be the return leg of the quarterfinals of the central-southern zone after the 2-2 draw in Rancagua last Sunday.
