When we think of hard tickets or aggressions in Spanish football, it is inevitable that Pepe's expulsion for his 'kicking' to Casquero during a Real Madrid – Getafe in 2009 will come to mind. An inexplicable loss of papers, in which the Portuguese player of Madrid, after Emujar the Azulón inside the area, begins to kick kicks behind the Getafense playernot impacting all, but being very close to ending up something more serious. With Casquero already lying on the green, he begins to kick him and steps on his leg, and then put his head against the ground.
All this while both Getafans and Madrid players, specifically Casillas, have to hold Pepe, who was out of them. One of the hardest actions that have been seen in our football in this century, and that It was an exemplary sanction of 10 games against the central. Since then, such a sanction has not been seen.
More than ten years after that, the legendary Getafe player tells his version of how he lived that agency, in the podcast 'We have come to listen'.
“I have ever seen it indirectly, because I was everywhere. In anything you put my name that play appeared. I asked me: Why me? He touched me and there is already, in 20 years of professional sometimes you play good things and bad things“He began by saying.
“I lived it directly, even if it was indirect, because I did absolutely nothing, I just passed by and I received everywhere“He added.
“There were situations to try to wash their image”
“There was a lot of exterior noise because he is a Madrid player. There were situations to try to wash their image. I have been a straight person, if someone wants to talk about me for my merits and not to want to intervene in a circus. He had a sanction and that's it, “Casquero explained.
What hurt the former Getafe player most was Pepe's posterior reaction: “A handshake would have earned me, but it didn't happen. It was passed. Have a coffee with him? In private yes, they have offered me a thousand times to do something set on radio and TV and I have always denied it because I don't want to promote this. “
“If someone has to talk to me to do it, but not for the outside. I have no grudge. They have tried many times, but they have already tired. Gavilán passed through there and hit both of them too. If it comes to pass in my time in Seville we are still giving us. With Pablo Alfaro, Javi Navarro … If Darío Silva is still there in the Bernabéu,” Casquero joked.
