The boos are the response of Uriel Antuna’s comments in the interview conducted on the youtuber channel ZABALIVE . The midfielder said he would rather go to Europe than win everything with the Sacred Herd, including the FIFA Club World Cup. “ Staying in the history of Chivas would be cool because Chivas is huge and they will not forget you, but ultimately not only it is about winning everything but about continuing to grow, to continue adding. ”

Chivas fans also didn’t like it when Antuna replied that, in a hypothetical case, would prefer to sign for the staunch rival before retiring from football : “With 23 years I would tell you to sign with America. ”
These were the reasons why Antuna was booed during 72 minutes into the win 2-0 against Xolos at the Akron Stadium in Guadalajara . Despite the criticism, the player showed personality since he always looked for the ball and tried to generate danger in the rival area.
