Tucumán and Loco Diaz clash with officials and fans: what happened? 🎥 | OneFootball

The forward and captain of the Tucumán team announced his departure at the end of the season after a clash with the fans, who insulted everyone during the defeat against San Lorenzo, and with the club’s directors, who are being accused of owing money.

Atlético Tucumán is not going through its best moments at this end of the season. The club’s failure to pay led the players to refuse to stay at the training camp as a form of protest, and this was met with insults from the fans during the 2-1 defeat against San Lorenzo.

The lead-up was heated: as the players took to the field, the first thing thrown at them were bills, as a way for the fans to show their disagreement, shouting “mercenaries.”

As soon as Alexis Cuello scored the equalizer on Monday night, the classic chant erupted: “Players…” and that’s how they went into halftime, with their captain Leandro Díaz wanting to fight with the fans in the stands.

After the match, the player himself surprised everyone by announcing that at the end of the year, after the match with Lanús, he would not continue, despite wanting to “retire” at the club.

“We are self-critical, we haven’t been able to win, but we’re not at the bottom either. We understand the fans, even though today we played with everything against us. Let the directors tell the truth, it’s not about the money, we don’t need money. We didn’t stay at the training camp because we’ve been suffering through a lot of things,” the striker explained.

“I came to the club because they asked me to help with relegation, I didn’t ask for anything. Of course I have a salary… I never set any conditions. Let the directors show up, who later fight to go watch Boca and River in Buenos Aires,” he pointed out.

Atlético Tucumán has 31 points in the overall standings, practically safe from relegation, and in the regular phase of the Torneo Clausura, they occupy eighth place—the last playoff spot—in zone B.
