Then the fists flew…
In Germany, Carlos Zambrano (33) played for Schalke 04, St. Pauli and Frankfurt and is now under contract with Boca Juniors. And then the Peruvian caused a real scandal.
In the halftime of the game against Racing Avellaneda (0:0) Zambrano fought with teammate Dario Benedetto (32). This is reported by the sports newspaper “Olé”.
According to the report, only teammates were able to separate the two boxing kickers. Zambrano was then taken off in the second half with a swollen left cheek while Benedetti had a scratch on his neck.
The fight was triggered by Benedetto’s allegations after the end of the first half. He reportedly scolded Zambrano: “If we just look at the ball, if they cross, they score, you idiot. Look at the man.”
Vice President Juan Roman Riquelme (44) to the two brawlers in the dressing room: “You disregarded the fans. This isn’t boxing. You can do whatever you want from Monday to Saturday, but you have to be brothers on Sundays.”
