The new signing of UD Almería has addressed his new club with some words that have upset many Las Palmas fans
“The Almería fans are incredible, I have not seen anything like it.” These were the words of Jonathan Viera, brand new signing from Unión Deportiva Almería (bottom of the First Division), in his first interview as a red-and-white player.
Some statements that have not gone down well with the yellow fans, who have expressed their discomfort on social networks for considering the words of the former yellow captain as a great offense towards what was their club until a few months ago.
Many fans have used social media to remind the former idol of some historic matches for the club where the stadium turned out in force for the team, such as the 2006 match against Linares in Segunda B , when 30.000 spectators packed the Gran Canaria Stadium.
Meanwhile, other fans have chosen to criticize both the player himself and the way he left the club. “ Leaving your lifelong club as the highest-paid player to go to a struggling team that hasn't won in 25 matches. Egocentrism ,” one fan posted in response to the excerpt of the Cadena Ser interview shared on social media.
Many yellow fans have also encouraged Viera to welcome him with a loud whistle when he returns to the Gran Canaria Stadium with Almería on March 17 on matchday 29 of LaLiga EA Sports.
