“It’s completely normal, the fans are upset. We have to understand. Going from 2-0 at home to 2-2 is unacceptable. So, I apologize tonight to the Betis fans, to the nearly 65,000 who came. We have to move forward, we are the ones who work here. We’ll fix things and try to do better in the next match,” said the striker about the fans’ criticism.

“I tried to stop Antony from going over there. Obviously, he was a little upset, I think, by the way some fans confronted him. In the end, we had to listen to the Betis crowd. They had every right to say what they wanted. Antony is very passionate. Antony is happy, very happy, and he’s upset, very upset. So, I tried to protect him that way, tried to talk to the fans. I tried to convey that Antony is working very hard for us, for the club, playing almost injured. So, I tried to calm the situation, that’s all,” Cucho added, speaking about Antony.
