Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-1 loss to Fulham at the end of November saw annoyance grow among the club’s fanbase. They’d made their feelings clear at several points during the match, and there’s a gap appearing between some of the squad and some of the fans.
Immediately following the loss to Fulham, 19-year-old Lucas Bergvall turned to applaud supporters. This didn’t please Pedro Porro, with the 26-year-old clearly seen to be shouting towards his younger colleague.
Porro was angry with how some Tottenham supporters had behaved during the match, and clearly didn’t feel the crowd were deserving of Bergvall’s applause.
Of course, his actions didn’t receive a positive reaction and Porro’s later non-apology didn’t do much to calm tensions.
Spurs beat Thomas Frank’s former side Brentford 2-0 on Saturday, and therefore the atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was rather better.
Porro started and finished the match and afterwards spoke to Spanish press agency EFE. His comments were much more positive towards fans of the Premier League club.
InfoBae report him as saying: “They’ve been exceptional from the start of the match, celebrating every attack and every chance. That’s what we need because when the team is struggling, we need that support.
“I understand that emotions in football, as I’ve already mentioned, often lead to the best possible reactions. They know I have unconditional love for them, and that’s the most important thing.”
