SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, June 9. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The president of the Cabildo de Tenerife, Pedro Martín, has defended this Thursday his attitude in the box of the Tenerife-Las Palmas match in the first match of the promotion playoff and that earned him being relegated to the fourth row in the Gran Canaria Stadium in the second leg.
“If your team scores a goal, you’re not going to stand up, for that I stay at home or go to a Symphony concert”, he indicated in an interview granted to ‘Cope Canarias’ and collected by Europa Press.
He has said that his way of celebrating the goal in the first leg played at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López “seems that he did not like it” to the point that in the second leg he was relegated to the fourth row of the box and did not sit next to the president of the Cabildo de Gran Canaria, Antonio Morales.
Martín has confessed that in the first leg he was wearing a Tenerife scarf and they have made his way of celebrating the goal ugly as someone who is not “very respectful” since it is not customary for a person in the boxes to “stand up , clap your hands and enjoy the goals”.
The president assumes that in a box you have to be “correct” and “not insult or annoy” the rest of the people who watch the game, but he has ironized that “it cannot be” as in the time of Covid-19 in which they put “silhouettes” to represent the public.
All in all, he has confessed to be optimistic about the final tie against Girona because although there is a risk of being disappointed, he has asked the fans not to lose their “illusion”.
“We are going to go up to First Division,” he added, stressing that he will attend the first leg in Girona, which is why he will not be present at the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival Queen Election Gala this Friday.
