The latest altercation between the youths of Sporting Tías and P.D.C. continues to be talked about. The president of the Puerto del Carmen (P.D.C.) football team, Antonio de León, has contacted La Voz to give his version of what the reasons were that caused the fight.
According to the team manager's version, initially, the players from both clubs were "arguing about a penalty." A situation that became complicated when some players from Sporting Tías began to provoke one of their players with insults calling him "black." A verbal aggression that started the altercation in which the P.C.D player was later injured, according to de León, which differs from what the referee recorded in the match report published by La Voz.
After the first disagreement, the physical aggression against the young man from P.D.C. began. "There were five or six players from Sporting Tías who surrounded the young man and started hitting him," de León told the newspaper. "They confronted him, threw him to the ground, and kicked and punched him," he recounted. The 17-year-old had to protect himself from the aggression as best he could. "He was alone and had to defend himself."
"They confronted him, threw him to the ground, and kicked and punched him."
During the fight, he received punches in various parts of the body: "in the hand, face, and feet," he detailed. According to the president, the Puerto del Carmen team "tried to separate" the players.
After the aggression, the player had to be admitted to the Molina Orosa Hospital with a trauma to his right hand and dorsal inflammation. In addition to the physical injuries, he also suffered psychological damage due to his condition. "He left angry, hurt, and ashamed," de León added.
