The 24-year-old winger, Gabriel Fuentes, received his first red card of the semester on Saturday in the middle of his debut against América. This is his ninth expulsion in his career, the seventh with the Junior jersey. They could not miss the strong criticism for the irresponsibility caused by the direct red, decisive in the comeback of the Scarlets.
The Barranquilla journalist, José Hugo Illera, stressed that it is the fifth direct red card in Fuentes’ career, a man with a process in the Colombian Selection. With Barranquilla FC he was sent off twice and with Junior he has seven, for all competitions.
The most recent red card came after an elbow on Chilean Rodrigo Ureña, who after a VAR review left Junior with ten on the court, at 75 minutes. Two minutes the afternoon fell to the shark. America went further and after losing 0-1, managed to come back with three scores.
In social networks, the criticism was immediate and many fans compared him again with former footballer Gerardo Bedoya, who received 46 red cards during his 20-year career, which ended in 2015 with Cúcuta Deportivo.
An irresponsibility of Fuentes that generated 3 local goals, left Junior with defeat today at Pascual. Although @lfguerra04 Say otherwise this Junior and his emotional intelligence saw the ugliest again against America. Unfair teamwork to Chaux, I read them. https://t.co/HYoFVOZZFm

IT IS RED: Violent conduct of Gabriel Fuentes who was measuring the player from America and launched the elbow. It is not the first time that happens to Junior’s side. Good Heider Castro warning, and good Vergara with the final decision. #LigaBetplay pic.twitter.com/Bjd2CwghXU

Gabriel Fuentes accumulates nine expulsions in his professional career, many for a player of only 24 years. There should be a higher level of concentration on the player @JuniorClubSA or it will be an aspect that marks his career.

There are things that never change.
And the red cards of Gabriel Fuentes.– Victor Romero (@ VictorRomero155) July 17, 2021
Gabriel Fuentes, a good player, but because of his constant expulsions and childish behavior on the court, he has not been able to go to a better league and fight for a position in the National Team. Too bad because we lack left-backs in Colombia.
