Soccer is a sport that arouses passions and everything that happens around it is magnificent. We are going to review some situations in the past that caused scandals and controversies on a soccer field. Some of them directly related to the referees and others due to somewhat dubious behavior of players or coaches.
The grace of Cádiz and Cheryshev
Event that occurred in the 2015-2016 season during a confrontation between Cádiz and Real Madrid. The circumstance of an improper alignment by Real Madrid with Benítez as coach occurred. This situation became known live during the match and the grace from Cádiz appeared mercilessly. Chants like "Cheryshev can't play" or "Benítez, look at twitter" delighted the audience.
Of course the Russian player was substituted to everyone's laughter. A few days later, the sanction against Real Madrid was confirmed, but those moments of mockery for some and blush for others will remain in everyone's retina. Since that day, this affair has been known as "The Cheryshev Case".
Figo and the pig's head as great controversial moments in La Liga
Moments of very high tension those lived in the Camp Nou that October 21, 2000 with the Barcelona - Real Madrid match. The reason for this was none other than the return to the culé field of his ex-star Luís Figo. The most and the least, we expected a reaction from the public towards the Portuguese star, but all the forecasts fell very short. In fact, the atmosphere was so tense that Figo did not have a second of rest in terms of being rebuked.
The most difficult moment occurred when at one point and while trying to take a corner, someone threw the head of a piglet near the player. This image was the one that summed up the feeling of the fans, and their feelings were reflected at that moment. Thus, the message that they wanted to convey to him was clear from the culé fans. Exorbitant decibels, insults, nerves and an arbitration action that perhaps could have done more to avoid reaching the point that was reached. As a curiosity, to say that the sanction proposed to the Camp Nou, finally never happened.
Luis Enrique and soccer cards
The ex-coach of the Spanish soccer team Luis Enrique gave rise to a case similar to that of Figo, but changing the colors. In this way, the one who was a Real Madrid player for 5 years, later went on to sign for the Blaugrana team. As expected, the barrage of criticism from the white fans was not long in coming and he became one of the most hated players.
In one of the games where Real Madrid and Barcelona faced each other at the Bernabéu, when scoring a goal, Luis Enrique made a gesture to the stands by showing and stretching his shirt in an exaggerated way in front of the public. One of the great controversial moments that fueled his animosity towards the Real Madrid player, and that caused a few moments of perhaps undue tension that made the entire Bernabéu even more unnerved. As an anecdote, remember the words of Luis Enrique himself where he said that "he did not see himself on the stickers with the white shirt" and that "the Barça player suits me better". A whole declaration of intent of course.
The truth is that this topic would remind many anecdotes and many controversial moments experienced in La Liga . Football is sport, but it is also quite an event today and those of us who love this sport are looking forward to the ball rolling again.
