History repeats itself. In January 2017, the Betis of Sevilla wanted to leave Román Zozulia, a player of the Vallecano Ray, for injury to the left shoulder. Vallekas' hobby stopped the fichaje because of its ideology and the case provoked a great stir and great controversy among the fans. Zozulia did not dispute a single match at the Rayo Vallecano, and in March the contract was terminated for two more seasons. The Spanish League filed a complaint against ten Lightning fans for a crime of coercion, forcing the striker to give up the discipline of the team. The judges archived him a few months later. In the summer of 2017, Zozulia was fichada by the Albacete for the ACB League. He's been playing there until today.

In December 2019, Zozulia enters the Albacete call to face the Lightning. The player jumped onto Vallecas's turf and the cry of "Zozulia puto Nazi" became a cry in the camp's animated stands. At the break, Collegiate Lopez decided to suspend the game.
The decision was surprising, among other things, because, a few kilometres from Vallecas, there are football fields such as "Basque Puto Does Not Throw", among other racist insults, which have been screaming systematically for tens of years.
