• Bundesliga Schalke fans stop signing Sergi Enrich for his sex video

"We have been interested in hiring him as a free agent, but we have positioned ourselves against his signing." 18 words that serve to ruin

Sergi Enrich's

exciting stage outside of Spain

. Because in football the doors close as fast as they open. The game of the ball is a peculiar market, in which the most authoritarian presidencies are able to mix with projects in which fans also have a vote, even not being guided by sports interests but by maintaining their own essence. Because sometimes, the voice of the members begins and ends on the day of the general assembly. Other times, no.

The non-incorporation of the 31-year-old Mallorcan forward to the German club responds to the scandal he starred in in 2016, filming himself with his former partner

Antonio Luna

having sex with a woman and distributing the videos without her consent. Although it was an aspect that had been overlooked by the Schalke leadership, the act that carried him a two-year prison sentence continues to haunt him. The Spaniard, who had already traveled to pass the medical examination of the mining club, is once again without a team and experiences the most passionate side of football in the German competition, where hobbies really matter.

The brief statement in the social networks of the German club with which the episode was closed quickly brought back the memory of other similar cases in Spain, such as the one that occurred with the Ukrainian

Roman Zozulia

and Rayo Vallecano,

Salva Ballesta

and Celta or

Sergi Guardiola

and the Barcelona.

Zozulia, loaned to Rayo by Betis in 2017, had to leave the Vallecano club due to the pressure exerted by his radical fans, the Buccaneers, of leftist ideology, when he related to the player with neo-Nazi groups in his country.

Back in Vallecas, years later, with Albacete, the insults from the stands to the Ukrainian led to the suspension of the match by the referee.

"FACHA" ACCUSATIONS

The accusations of "look" or "fascist" on social networks by Celta fans prevented Ballesta from joining the technical staff of the Galician club as an assistant to coach

Abel Resino

, in 2013. From a military family, Ballesta had continuously displayed of extreme patriotism. «It is a pity that in these times politics is confused with sport. I have never referred to politics, I have only always said that I feel very Spanish, "lamented the former player.

In 2015, Sergi Guardiola, who had been signed by Barcelona to reinforce the Barça subsidiary, was fired a few hours after being introduced, when some tweets from the player from long ago came to light in which he showed his predilection for Real Madrid. "Hala Madrid and whore Catalonia," he had written on his Twitter profile. The echo in the networks and the insulting content led Barça quickly to terminate their contract.

Schalke do not want Enrich's past episode to ignite on social media. And it is that the animation groups of the German club have more and more influence. In fact, they were the architects of the farewell of the former president and top club investor,

Clemens Tönnies

, last season. Initially accused of racism and owner of a slaughterhouse that had a resounding outbreak of Covid in the first months of the pandemic, the businessman ended up leaving through the back door of Schalke. The fans had no qualms about undermining the reputation of a figure who had even saved the institution in the worst moments with an economic injection. The pressure he exerted became untenable for the club.

Enrich has been of little use in being the footballer with the most matches in the First Division in the history of Eibar (187).

The forward will have to look inside or outside of Spain for a destination where his contribution on the field of play weighs more than the weight of his past, of a reprehensible episode that sank his reputation and became a burden, heavier as he approaches in end of his career.
