Caszely is heated by the act of violence in Colo Colo
On the night of this Wednesday, a regrettable incident of violence was experienced again in the stands during the friendly between Colo Colo and Universitario de Perú, which resulted in the death of a white fan in the surroundings of the Monumental Stadium. Given this, the club’s historic idol, Carlos Caszely, blamed the authorities for the incidents.
“I saw that the broom was left. It’s a shame especially because they didn’t stop the violence in the stadiums. Nobody was able to bell the cat. That’s why few people go to the games.
