The fans, once again, have paralysed the fichaje of footballer Roman Zozulia for being "fascist"

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. And five years later, the amateurs have repeated again that not the Ukrainian player. Again in Madrid, but this time in the city of Alcorcón.

"The signing creates division, confrontation... There was nothing short of that! ", the Federation of Peñas de Alcorcón has written in its personal social media account. Other teams of amateurs have been more direct: "Zozulia is not only a patriot, but Azov is a fascist who supports a Nazi paramilitary group, he is nothing more than a fascist. This person has no place in our club or in our city. Their ideology clashes frontally with our values." Another group of fans of the Alcorcón: "It is a mistake to publish photos with Nazi numerology and to sign a player who supports the outermost and fascist teams in his country, which is incompatible with the values of tolerance and respect that promote sport." The pressure of the population has once again influenced this occasion.

Nazi puto Zozulia

As a result of the case of Zozulia, for the first time in the history of Spanish professional football a match was suspended for “insults of the hobby”. 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.
