Yesterday´s match could have been an example of the great football and the fair play we are living in Spain but a deliberate stomp by Pepe to Messi stops fair play to continue. Finally, the match went on with no incidents and Barça´s football team won with a great possession of the ball. Once again, we can see the ethics Barcelona’s football players have as they didn´t get into Madrid´s game.
Just look and cry

Was Pepe´s attitude a way of fair play in the last Madrid-Barça match?
Do you think Pepe could repeat the same actions in normal circumstances or was he just influenced by a mix of emotions?

After having seen the match and the video posted, I feel totally astonished with Pepe’s action. To start with, I think we should analyze the whole movement. Messi dribbled two Real Madrid players and one of them tackled Leo without any option of getting the ball. This was already a fault which wasn’t appropriate but what happened next was totally shameful and sad. Pepe, Real Madrid’s defender, stepped on Messi’s hand while he was in the floor, and we can see how Pepe clearly looks at Messi while he is stepping on his hand, so there is no excuse because he can’t say it wasn’t on purpose.
ReplyDeleteIf we look back through history, no one can argue the fact that Real Madrid has been one of the best teams of all days and it has always been distinguished for the lordship and good manners of all the players in the team. This, apparently, has been lost nowadays, when players like Pepe tackle other players with bad intentions or step on them when they are on the floor or even blow a fist on them, as we could see one year ago against Getafe when, blinded with madness, he kicked one player lying in the floor and afterwards punched another one.
I can’t believe Real Madrid still lets him play with their t-shirt as he gives a bad image of the club. I think that the FIFA should take arms against this kind of incidents because when someone wants to see a football match, he expects two teams playing for his team with the illusion of winning and the decency of congratulating the winner after the match, instead of watching this shameful incidents done by a player who has already shown for a couple of times that he doesn’t deserve to wear the t-shirt he wears or even to play football professionally, as he seems a little kid in a playground instead of a professional football player.
