América lost the semifinal of the Concacaf Champions Cup against Pachuca just last Tuesday after falling at the Hidalgo Stadium by a score of 2-1 and was eliminated from the tournament with a 3-2 aggregate, a defeat that was more painful for the goalkeeper Luis Angel Malagon than for any other player, since the disappointment of missing the final was combined with another more important fact: the loss of a loved one.
And Malagón revealed in an interview that hours before they had murdered one of his friends in an area near where he lives, so he was very affected.
In the mixed zone of the Hidalgo Stadium he recounted the situation, after sending an apology to the Azulcrema fans for not achieving the goal of lifting the cup.
“It’s one of those moments when you don’t see the bottom of it and say ‘mothers, what’s next?‘. With all my heart we apologize to the fans who are always wherever we go, supporting us; Now it is time to turn this around, it is difficult, I tell you from the bottom of my heart,” she expressed.
And when asked by a reporter about how he felt, he was blunt in saying that he was very affected and explained the reason.
“Well fucked, brother; also I want to take advantage: today or yesterday someone I knew was killed there by my house, so everything comes together, a thousand things come together. May he rest in peace, Rafa. “These are difficult times,” he said.
Malagón, who comes from Zamora, Michoacán, was shocked by the murder of “Rafa”, as he mentioned, and, according to local media such as El Grafico, the person he mentions could be the same person who appeared in the newspapers hours before. who was killed with hammer blows and who was a resident of the same Purépecha region.
Media such as El Sol de Zamora reported the death of Obed Rafael M., 33 years old, who was an amateur soccer player known as “Rafa”, “Rafita” and “El Zurdo”, who was murdered with a hammer inside his home in that city, according to data from the Michoacán Attorney General’s Office, which assured that an investigation has already been initiated to clarify the facts.
