In recent days,
Nahuel "Patón" Guzmán
was the main protagonist of an unusual and controversial situation. The goalkeeper, former
Newell's
and with time in the
Argentine National Team
, was on everyone's lips after a video went viral that created a stir in Mexican soccer, which began to talk about the "laser scandal."
Last weekend, Patón was not part of the squad of his team,
Tigres
, when they had to face their classic rival, the Rayados de
Monterrey
. However, he ended up being the protagonist of the meeting. A video went viral in which he is seen in one of the stadium's boxes, pointing and bothering the rival goalkeeper, his compatriot
Esteban Andrada
, with a laser .
His condemnable unsportsmanlike attitude cost him dearly who knew how to be a substitute goalkeeper for the National Team when it was directed by Tata Martino. Andrada complained about the attitude of his "colleague", whom he described as "Puto cagón" on the networks, and the local federation could determine harsh sanctions for both him and his team.
"I want to take advantage of the importance of social networks to publicly offer my apologies to Esteban for the event that occurred last night," said number 1, who is usually involved in this type of confrontations that go beyond the playing field.
The episode also earned him a punishment in Tigres: "Nahuel is sorry and has already expressed it, but we do not agree with what happened because we have internal codes and regulations. An internal sanction will be imposed as we have always done," said the sports director of the institution, Antonio Sancho.
Former Mexican soccer player
Luis Hernández
liquidated Patón when he was asked about the actions of the Argentine captain of Tigres, at the Monterrey stadium.
El Pájaro, named during his brief time at
Boca Juniors
because of his resemblance to
Claudio Caniggia
, did not avoid the situation and with a few words destroyed the goalkeeper: "Nahuel Guzmán is a guy who is an idiot and who does not deserve to be in Mexican football." "Just get him kicked out of Mexican football," said the long-haired man, his country's top scorer between the World Cup and the Copa América, with 13 goals in total.
The "Regio Classic", as they call it, was played on the Monterrey court and ended in a 3-3 tie, although local media are considering the possibility that the visiting team will lose that point obtained thanks to Guzmán's "mischief."
"They told us that the ruling was due this week, so we hope that a resolution will come out at any moment," commented Pedro Esquivel, administrative vice president of Rayados.
The attacks on Patón came from all sides, and the one who also spoke out on the matter was none other than Andrada's wife, who joined the criticism. Among other things, she said the laser can cause eye damage if pointed directly.
"You were so scared, Nahuelito," she wrote in a story. And then she expanded on her husband's insults against Guzmán: "Puto, cagón and dirty."
