In the 62nd minute, the Atleti fans scolded Joaquín for his words about Luis Aragonés
It happened in the 62nd minute of the game. It was then that Real Betis coach Manuel Pellegrini decided to make a trade and put Joaquín Sánchez on the field. At that moment, the audience in the ‘Cívitas Metropolitano’ stadium decided to whistle loudly at the captain of Bético, to sing the name of Luis Aragonés in unison a little later. A gesture that caught the attention of many fans and for a reason. The a multitude of whistles to Joaquín and chants in honor of Luis followed each other to remind the Betis captain of his last words about the late ‘Sabio de Hortaleza’, the watchword of the mattress fans.
The origin of that whistle can be found in some statements made in recent days, where Joaquín commented on the program, “The penultimate and I leave”, the following: “Luis Aragonés did not behave as well as he should have with me And I’m not telling you because of the deal, I’m telling you because, what less than he would have called me and told me what he thought, to find out why he left me out of the team “said the bético in reference to his absence from the call-up for the 2008 Euro Cup, which eventually captured the group selected by Luis.
It hurt Joaquín to be left out of that team and he showed his disgust on that TV show. Part of the Atlético de Madrid fans wanted to “remind” Joaquin of that and hence the anger in some of the stands, the monumental whistle for the bético and the chants from all over the stadium in favor of ‘Sabio de Hortaleza’. It was the anecdote of a match in which Atléticos and Betis lived side by side in a festive atmosphere, without incident, and where thousands of fans wore Real Betis Balompié’s shirt near the Madrid stadium, both in the outskirts of Madrid. the field, as in the stands.
