Tensions in Football

 by Lavakushan M

Football is full of wonders and enjoyment. But sometimes fans can go to an extent that it could make several players mentally and emotionally hurt. 

During a game between Real Madrid and Valencia this season Vinicius Jr. was getting racially abused by the fans when they used racist slangs and words. This caused a 10 minute halt as several players from both teams protested. But surprisingly the teammates from Valencia were trying to stop Vinicius from protesting against them. Vinicius was SENT OFF for apparently ‘fouling’ one of the Valencia players; which makes no sense in any way as he didn’t purposely injure him and the contact between him, the Valencia player was about to choke him and the Valencia player was so little that it could be argued that the Valencia player was overreacting. 

But some fans can get hurt because of some players and one example was in 2013 when Hazard kicked the ball boy in a match v Swansea. Hazard was not in his best mood at the time so he kicked the ball boy, Charlie, in order to get the ball. They both reunited a decade later and Charlie is a millionaire now, and they are both on good terms with each other.
