It is a difficult problem to solve that FC Barcelona and its players deal with every day, and The latest victim was Iñigo Martínez, for whom what happened on Sunday was the straw that broke the camel’s back of his patience when several TikTokers insulted him.
Really mindless
Xavi Hernández has granted rest days to the squad after Sunday’s recovery training at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. At the end of the session, Iñigo Martínez experienced an unpleasant incident with one of the TikTokers hanging around the entrance to the Blaugrana venue.
In the video recorded by one of those present, you can see how the Barça central defender, upon leaving the Sant Joan Despí facilities, stops his vehicle, gets out of it and confronts one of those present. “May it be the last time you call me stupid, the last time you insult me, and your friend the same,” he says, before returning to the car and leaving the scene. “And don’t be cocky,” adds the player. “And what about you?” the brainless person who caused the incident still dares to say.
At the same time, the voices of other people can be heard asking the teenagers who provoke the player to control themselves. “But don’t do these things!”, or: “But, what are you doing?”, they say, while a child asks for a photo with the soccer player.
A more than justified indignation
Iñigo Martínez’s indignation is more than justified, since he and his companions are forced to endure similar situations day after day. At the doors of the Joan Gamper, in addition to journalists and photojournalists carrying out their informative work, fans gather looking for a photo, a photo or a signature of their idols. And, also, clever people who try to do business with images and autographs of the players.
The latter have sometimes hit the cars, or even jumped on the hood of the vehicles to force the players to stop, causing an altercation. And if they do not achieve their objective, they confront them and, as was the case, insult them until an unpleasant situation arises.
The solution to the problem is not simple, Well, both the journalists and fans who act in good faith and the rest of those present They are located outside the Barça premises, which, therefore, has no authority to act against them and regulate their behavior.
