Chimy Avila He was one of the protagonists of Osasuna – Betis. He returned to El Sadar with the green and white shirt to play against the team in which he spent five seasons and where he triumphed in Spain and he had to score in compliance with the former’s law. However, he surprised everyone by celebrating his goal. Not because of the importance of the goal and the Verdiblanco victory but because he did it against a club of which he always spoke well.
Questioned about this circumstance, the Argentine justified his joy on the grass and why he pointed at the Osasunista stands with anger and had reasons for the chants against him that he had heard.
«You already know the affection and love I have for this hobby. It’s a mix of sensations. I am disappointed by the whistles and insults, but I also understand the fans. I don’t hold a grudge. It’s football. It is the job of the footballer. The howl of death when one has one’s children in the stands broke my heart. If people took it as a celebration, I apologize, but that they receive me in the stadium like this… I came with enthusiasm all week, instilling in my daughters that they were going to applaud dad, but things turned out that way,” said Chimy. Avila.
And in January the Argentine insistently asked to leave Osasuna to join Betis in exchange for four million euros plus 700,000 in variables and a percentage of Raúl’s transfer. The Navarrese leaders did not like that pressure. Braulio Vázquez, Osasuna’s sports director, has already made it clear: «We are aware that if he had stayed, in July he would be worth less money. The club has moved well in this market, we are satisfied, although personally I did not like what Chimy did, I found it regrettable.
From then on, the reception from the El Sadar stands to Chimy was not friendly and that is why the player responded with that anger when he scored the goal after Bartra’s shot and Sergio Herrera’s rebound.
