Venezuela is serious. This Wednesday, on date 2 of the group stage of the Copa América 2024, they defeated Mexico by the minimum score and closed their pass to the quarterfinals of the tournament. The only goal of the match was scored by Salomón Rondón, from a penalty. However, One of the footballers who has stolen the spotlight after the match is Yeferson Soteldo, once again, for his mockery of his rivals.
The former Universidad de Chile and Huachipato player went wild with the celebrations. Before leaving the field, he mocked the fans of La Tri, who were the majority in the SoFi Stadium. First, he silenced them and then he made crying gestures with his hands.
Later, on social media, she posted a photo in which she wrote “keep watching”, where he appears with other footballers such as Darwin Machís, Erick Ramírez, José Ramírez and Jhonder Cádiz. He did this through Instagram, a platform on which he took the opportunity to upload several stories celebrating his selection. It should be noted that Soteldo played in the Mexican league in 2022, for Tigres.
However, the atmosphere was already heated before the match even started. The newspaper Recordone of the most important in the Aztec country, tried to illustrate the vast superiority of its team over Venezuela with a controversial cover in which they headlined “I am your father,” with an image of Darth Vader in the colors of that nation.
But it didn’t end there. During the match, in an unusual attitude, when the 12th minute of the match had just been played and they tied without goals, the La Tri fans began to shout Ole.
The performance of the team coached by Fernando Batista is being watched closely in Chile, since they could find themselves in the quarterfinals of the tournament. This is because if Chile beats Canada and ranks second in Group A and the Venezuelans maintain their first place in Group B (something that does not seem difficult, because they must face the weak Jamaica in the last duel, already eliminated), they will have to see the faces in one of the keys of the round of the eight best.
