Defender Giménez, in turn, highlighted the lack of security at Copa América games, emphasizing the lack of policing and the danger that family members of members of the Uruguayan team have had to deal with due to the bad behavior of rival fans.
“Please be careful, because families are in the stands. The Colombian fans won’t let us speak on the microphone, this is a disaster, our families are in danger, they shot our relatives, with babies. There were no police officers. Those who are organizing the championship should be more careful with families. Every game the same thing happens. Our families are suffering with those who drink and behave like children. Let’s hope this doesn’t happen in the next games. This is a disaster,” the athlete pointed out.
