Since the field some players were able to witness the exact moment in which the roof of the stands fell . After the crash happened, the players went directly to the changing rooms.
“When We went up, it was said that something had happened. If something happened, I hope you are well. Second, what has been said repeatedly, was said by several players from other clubs, to insist that people behave. That on Sunday people come to cheer, that they enjoy this. Personally, it makes me a little angry to insist that people don’t do that, that they behave well, sometimes it’s a bit tiring when they don’t. It is for them and for us that we need all the parties to be present. I hope it doesn’t happen again, ”said the soccer player Maximiliano Falcón in statements compiled by Infobae.
