Atlético-MG’s main organized supporters group, Galoucura, criticized and threatened midfielder Reinier this Saturday (18), days after a controversial celebration.
Bernard scored in the 2-1 win over modest Uruguayan side Juventud in the Copa Sudamericana. He then put his hand to his ear. Reinier ran over and repeated the gesture.
The celebration sparked controversy among Galo fans. Bernard even issued a public apology. But the matter is still causing repercussions.
So much so that Galoucura gathered outside Galo’s training session to protest. And one member even threatened Reinier.
"You live in Belo Horizonte — we’re gonna (sic) start hunting you down and beating you up, got it?!", one of the supporters said. Watch:
Atlético-MG are in eighth place in the Brasileirão with 14 points.
The club’s next match will be against Coritiba at 4 p.m. on Sunday (19) at Couto Pereira, in Curitiba, in the Brasileirão.
