Former Boca Juniors Player Hernán Grana’s Attempted Attack in Children’s Soccer Match: Referee Speaks Out

The referee spoke after Hernán Grana’s attempted attack in his son’s match

Over the weekend, former Boca Juniors player Hernán Grana, who currently plays for All Boys, was the protagonist of an unfortunate incident during a children’s soccer game in which his son was playing. The winger invaded the field to try to rebuke the referee and began to tell him everything about the man in charge of dispensing justice in the baby match.

“Charge well, come on!” was the first shout that a witness recorded with his cell phone camera. “Give Gordó, get paid well!” and “He’s grabbing his shirt!” he continued as he put the dunk aside and prepared to enter the field of play. He was then kicked out of the club while several people asked him to stop his misconduct.

After what happened, the one who spoke was one of those involved. Ernesto Suasnabar, referee on duty at the children’s soccer match, gave details of Grana’s reaction. “First he yelled at me, raised his voice, and first I reported it to the delegate. He stood there and didn’t calm down. He yelled at me again and I kicked him out,” the judge said in dialogue with the Telenoche program on Channel 13.

“And when I kicked him out, he got on the field, and well, when I forced him to be taken out, he followed me from the door of the club, insulting me, telling me everything. There was no physical aggression,” he added in relation to the attitude taken by the footballer who emerged in the lower divisions of Platense and who then had a long journey through clubs such as Los Andes, All Boys, Lanús, Quilmes, Belgrano and Ferro, before returning. to Albo de Floresta.

During the interview, Suasnabar explained why situations like the ones he experienced with Grana are common in baby soccer matches. “Sadly it is very common. More protests, verbal and physical attacks. Thank God there were no physical attacks. People are very violent. You go prepared during the week how you are going to handle the day,” she said.

“The baby is harmed by the big ones. You talk to the kids and they understand you easily. The problem is the parents, the technicians and the delegates,” explained the judge who said that he has been directing children for 24 years.

“People are very violent. You don’t expect a person like that to appear. It happened to me once when I had to stop the game and all the boys were crying because of the pressure they were put on. Boys become violent because of parental pressure. “If I hear a father who sends his son to hit another, I have to expel him,” his gaze concluded in the note.

It must be remembered that Grana himself used his social networks to issue a defense after what happened at his son’s soccer game. “I am going out to clarify something that happened yesterday on baby day where my son was playing against Racing where someone filmed me protesting to the referee in which it is clear that I am going to speak to him. I went to talk to him because he was letting 9-year-olds hit each other and not saying anything to them. So the only thing I wanted to tell him was for him to talk to them,” was the first part of his explanation.

“I take responsibility for my completely misplaced and excessive reaction, it is not right, especially coming from a professional like me, but I never wanted to hit him in the least. Yes, wanting to tell him not to let the babies hit each other. Those who know me know the kind of person I am and even more so with children. I apologize because it was not the way or the time to talk to the referee, mainly because of the children, but my only objective was to stop them from hitting each other anymore,” Grana continued.

Finally, the 38-year-old player with more than two decades as a professional was clear and tried to clarify that he did not want to attack the referee in his attempt to defend the children. “It makes me sad and angry that there are people who want to dirty my person, but I have a clear conscience about what kind of person I am and what was shown in the video was not the truth of what happened. It is clear that I never want to attack anyone, but I am going to go to the last degree against those people who wanted to get me dirty. Because you can say and think whatever you want about the way I play but not about me personally. “I’m not going to allow them.”
