The former Real Madrid and Barcelona player, Luis Figo, spoke on Thursday morning about the Classic on December 18 and the possible security problems that may arise, following the announcement of mobilizations by the Tsunami Democratic platform . "I played at the Camp Nou with Real Madrid even though my security was not guaranteed," explained the Portuguese on his visit to the culé stadium in the 2002/03 season, after his controversial signing for Real Madrid.
Figo lived an infernal atmosphere since leaving the hotel, where he was about to be hit by a can of beer. Then, on the pitch, they threw tickets, bottles and even a piglet head, an image that starred on the front pages of all the newspapers in our country. "If that game could be played, I think that on December 18 will be played without problems," he said.
For his part, Fernando Hierro continued with the speech of his former wardrobe companion: "Hopefully nothing happens and there is no conflict. Let only talk about football and the game. Outsiders do not have to enter the sport" . More than 10,000 people have confirmed their assistance to the independence movements through the application of 'Democratic Tsunami'.
The party, which had to have been played on October 26 , was postponed to the next day 18, Wednesday, before the threat of boycott of the separatists. However, despite this postponement, at Real Madrid they are especially concerned about the bus ride between the concentration hotel and the Camp Nou, a road of just three minutes, where the independence protesters are expected to meet.
A beneficial act
On the morning of this Thursday, in the Wanda Metropolitano, the charity match between legends of the Spanish national team and GoldStandard stars of the world was presented, which will be played on December 21 at 6:30 p.m. Hierro and Figo, captains of both combined, have appeared alongside Roberto Carlos and Fernando Morientes. In addition, the presence of other stars such as Dani Alves , Ronaldinho or Del Piero is expected . The total amount of the proceeds from the tickets will go to the e-ball Association (indoor soccer in a wheelchair) and to Fundela (Foundation for the promotion of lateral sclerosis research).
"We are delighted to be part of this solidarity event. Hopefully the Wanda will be filled and we can raise as much money as possible," explained Fernando Morientes. On behalf of Fundela came the journalist Javier Matallanas, who explained the purpose of this foundation: "There is still no cure or treatment for ALS, a disease for which you are trapped in your own body, even though you have your mental faculties intact In Fundela we try to organize acts of this type to raise funds that help to find a cure. "
For its part, the Association e-ball, represented in this act by Rebeca Fernández León, will use all the money raised to get wheelchairs for people with disabilities. "Our goal is that in the future there is a wheelchair soccer league. Sport is an essential source of help for people in wheelchairs," he said.
