Argentine soccer player Gonzalo Escobar was attacked by bars in Brazil. Escobar received 13 stitches in his face and was diagnosed with a craniocerebral trauma.
Five other footballers were injured in the attack by the Sport Recife brava group. Fortaleza CEO Marcelo Paz: "I am suffering emotionally, physically and even technically. Who is going to pay for that? Our position is not to play until they recover" "Why is this allowed in football? What kind of free behavior is that that allows football professionals to be insulted, ridiculed and humiliated?"
