The Mexican international Andrés Guardado, who did not see action in the duel between Betis and Sevilla for the Copa del Rey, got into a scandal, because after his team’s victory, he held a controversial celebration that would refer to the aggression suffered by Joan Jordán, Andalusian box player.
The Seville derby was suspended on Saturday, January 15, because, after Nabil Fekir’s Olympic goal, a plastic bar was thrown from the stands that hit Joan Jordán and that caused the game to be suspended and rescheduled.
Saved affirms, after being seen joking with a bottle that hit him on the head and fell to the ground, after the Copa del Rey duel against Sevilla, that he did not make fun of Jordán.
“I take the opportunity to clarify the video that from what I see everyone who does not know me has interpreted it in the wrong way, although totally understandable from the context. I want to say emphatically that at no time am I making fun of the act suffered by Jordán, ”said the Betis midfielder on Instagram.
The Betis players effusively celebrated their qualification for the Copa del Rey Quarterfinals.
The gesture of the 4-time World Cup player with the Mexican National Team caused discomfort in the fans of the Sevilla team, whose sports director, Ramón Rodríguez, ‘Monchi’, asked for “sanity” and “tranquility” after everything that happened.
“An event has been experienced that should not be experienced on a soccer field and that is unfortunate and a shame,” Saved also assured in his message posted on Twitter.
