Duván Zapata: they did not let him enter a banking establishment in Bergamo | football curiosities

At Atalanta de Bergamo they are excited about Colombian players. Luis Fernando Muriel has been key in recent games, adding starts and being vital for Gian Piero Gasperini’s attack, so much so that the club remains at the top and undefeated in Serie A putting a lot of pressure on Napoli at the top of the league Italian.

For their part, with Duván Zapata they cannot say the same, since injuries have unfortunately become a trend, reducing the activity of the striker who has not been able to return as expected in the past dates. A blow to the left thigh complicated it on September 5 when Atalanta beat Torino 3-1.

Duván Zapata could not be taken into account in the two friendlies played by Néstor Lorenzo that marked his debut on the bench for the national team. The Caleño had to leave the playing field with Atalanta weeks before facing Guatemala and Mexico, for which he did not enter the call. Unfortunately, he left the green rectangle in the first part.

The information that Atalanta communicated was the following, “the instrumental tests to which the Colombian striker was subjected showed a moderate partial injury to the semimembranosus muscle of the thigh.” However, the good news is that he has recovered and could, if Gian Piero Gasperini wishes, be in the game against Lazio in the next round of Serie A.

Due to his incapacity, Duván Zapata has been noticed doing personal laps, one of them, with a financial advisor in a bank in the city, but curiously, they did not recognize him and they began to tell him to leave the establishment. Duván attended the meeting in sports clothes, which could indicate that he was an athlete.

Because of his way of dressing, the security officers asked him, “Where do you think you are going? This is not a place for you, go somewhere else.” Duván Zapata was unable to enter in the first instance, but fortunately for him and for his meeting, an official from the entity approached security and told them, “Duván is one of our clients, but security could not know. The employees were simply doing their job, guaranteeing us a security service in an intermediate space between the entrance and the street”.

Without a doubt, for the aspirations of Duván Zapata they let him enter the bank, he was able to make his personal return, but the response of the security officers by not letting him enter the establishment continues to arouse curiosity. Confusion, because they did not recognize him, or another case of racism against the Colombian.
