José María Giménez, Uruguayan defender of Atlético Madrid, had a controversial gesture during this Wednesday’s game against Levante, which the colchoneros lost at Wanda Metropolitano by 0-1.
The 27-year-old rebelled against the whistles of the fans, with a gesture to shut them up. At the end of the match, however, he made a point of apologizing. “Atletico fans know the affection I have for them. I am what I am thanks to them, I would have nothing in my career without them», began by saying the defender.
“I’m sad. There are moments with so much nervousness, desire to win and things don’t happen… When I was criticized by the fans, it hurt me a lot. But this is a family and in families there are problems. I want to apologize to you, that you don’t see this as something to be angry about. I’m not the type of person who reacts, but in moments of tension and nervousness we are tense and upset, which causes us to commit acts that we regret or that we didn’t want to do. I sincerely apologize to all the people who took it wrong. I have no problem doing it one by one”, he added.
