Gonzalo Montiel is one of those players who was always characterized by his strong personality. Since his youth football days, he took over the captain’s belt of the ’97 category for being one of the leaders of his team, inside and outside, on the field of play and also in the locker room. A matrix that he kept throughout all these years.
Today with the Seville shirt, the top scorer participated in a match against Tottenham at the Suwon World Cup Stadium, in South Korea. And beyond the friendly nature of the match, the former River was about to finish pineapples after receiving an elbow that produced a cut on the lips.
The play occurred a few minutes after the end of the first stage. The author of the blow was the Korean Heung Min Son, who extended his arm in the dispute for a ball and hit the Argentine soccer player. Montiel ended up with a bloody mouth and had to temporarily leave the field. He had to put on a bandage and change his shirt. But it does not end there.
At the end of the first half, the winger went to look for Son, rebuked him and there was a riot of players in the middle of the field. They almost ended up at the hands, but finally they managed to separate them and everything was left there, in an argument. Gonzalo Montiel did not come out to play the second half: he was replaced at halftime by Jesús Navas. The match ended 1-1 and also featured the participation of other former River: Erik Lamela and Lucas Ocampos, the two starters at Sevilla.
