Tension and worry in Madrid ahead of the hot Morocco-Peru

What was initially planned as a party for Moroccan and Peruvian fans living in Madrid threatens to become a serious public order problem after the events that have taken place in the last few hours. The selection of Morocco and Peru faces will be seen in a friendly match this Tuesday at Metropolitan Civitas Stadium from the capital of Spain from 9:30 pm and the crash was reached amid a rarefied atmosphere.

First, and even if this is an isolated event, because of the racist episode that took place in the concentration hotel of the North African team a few days ago. A 27-year-old employee of the establishment, the Eurostars Madrid Tower, posted the following messages on instagram, accompanied by photos of the expedition in the hotel’s dining room. “” The choice of Morocco within Towers, you are a bunch of balls. Damn fucking morons. I shit on it ramadan and their fucking dead. Serves shit ramadan and their fucking fucking beliefs”. The worker was arrested after a complaint from the same hotel and accused of a hate crime.

He even spoke to the national coach about that incident. Walid Regragui. “The players and the people have been affected a lot Morocco too. I think it should not go beyond that. He is still young and he will learn from this. Today, in social networks there are children who are lost. There is racism in life, but I think it’s something more social than a child. He is a child with life after this and I don’t want to ‘kill’ him.”

Pushing between the Police and Peru players

On Wednesday the problems occurred in the hotel of the Peruvian team, NH Collection Eurobuilding, where upon their arrival hundreds of fans were waiting for them to perform the traditional ‘banderazo’ of welcome. At one point, a player jumped the security perimeters to get closer to the fans, that’s one thing National Police tried to stop, which led to pushing and shoving between law enforcement officers and soccer players.

});

As a result of all this, the goalkeeper was arrested Pedro Gallese, accused of punching a police officer in the eye. He testified early in the morning at a police station and was later released without charge.

All the parties involved are trying to ask for calm so that the match between the teams of Morocco and Peru developing normally.
