There was a lot of insistence from those in charge of Athletic Club de Bilbao to their fans: please, "refrain from carrying out acts that could be considered disrespectful, including the moment of the previous anthem." The majority of the fans complied, although there were those who spoiled the image of the fans with whistles for the national anthem while it was playing in La Cartuja in Seville, prior to the confrontation with Mallorca.
One of them is the singer José Manuel Soto, who has not hesitated to show his indignation through his profile on Copa del Rey, they could have "respected" the monarch and the national anthem.
"Congratulations to Athletic Club of Bilbao. But if you wanted the Copa del Rey so much, why don't you respect either the King or the anthem of Spain? The garbage thing is not just your problem, all the football thieves are the same. dirty, but the image is very sad...".
The Sevillian also continued with his opinion, which became controversial, as he did not hesitate to compare the boos to messing with "a black man or a gay man."
"If in a stadium someone messes with a black or a gay person, they suspend the game and close the stadium, but if 40,000 whistle for the King or the national anthem, nothing happens, nor is it commented on, and if you say it you are a fascist..." .
The singer accompanied his first message with an image in which, in addition, you can see the pile of garbage that was left in the streets of the Seville capital after the passage of thousands of red-and-white fans who invaded the popular neighborhoods of Triana, El Porvenir. , Nervión or the famous Plaza de España.
Although, as the singer points out, it is not just the "fault" of the fans. There was little police presence in the center of the capital throughout the weekend, bars allowed the service of plastic cups and tanks were allowed to be taken out into the street.
An almost impossible task for the operators of Lipasam, the Public Cleaning company of the Seville City Council, which had a special device of 305 workers and 92 vehicles; in morning, afternoon and night shifts, from last Friday to Sunday, prepared for the occasion.
