Reyna Explodes After Defeat to Last Chivas

Players from El America were asked to give their opinion about their recent game against Las Chivas this past Sunday.  When asked about the game, Angel Reyna, mid-fielder, exploded on camera and said, “We have a defense made of plastic,” and stormed off as the reporters and camera men stood stunned at what the player said about his fellow teammates.  After his fiery comment, media grilled Reyna’s teammates, looking to find their opinions regarding the aggressive stance Reyna took.

Of course, the most important opinions were those of the defensive players themselves.  Aquivaldo Mosquera mentioned that it wasn’t fair that Reyna was laying blame upon the defense— things happen.  He said, “In good and bad we should stick together.”  Another defensive player that spoke out about the situation was Oscar Rojas.  He said that obviously no one likes to be blamed for the loss of a game and that they will “try and talk to him and fix what he said.”

Reyna may have been upset when he said this, but it’s entirely unprofessional to explode that way against your own teammates.  Like Mosquera said, “In good and bad you stick together.”  Sounds like there are going to be more problems for El America than there already were, doesn’t it?  How will manager Tena fix all of this?  Looks like we’ll have to wait and see.
