Monarcas made official the signing of the Chilean Gonzalo Jara and the defender is recognized worldwide, but not precisely for his football level but for some controversial actions he has starred.
ESPN Digital presents you some curiosities about Morelia's new player for Clausura 2020.
BRONCA CON CAVANI
In the Quarterfinals of the Copa America 2015, Chile and Uruguay faced each other for one of the tickets to the Semifinals and Jara became the protagonist of the match by performing an unsportsmanlike action on Edinson Cavani. The defender was suspended for three games and media outlets around the world echoed what happened.
PARTE DEL HISTÓRICO 7-0 SOBRE MÉXICO
Gonzalo Jara was a starter in the worst defeat in the history of the Mexican National Team. Mexico faced Chile in the Quarterfinals of the Copa America Centenario and El Tri, coached at the time by Juan Carlos Osorio, was defeated 7-0, a result that would be etched in the minds of Mexican fans. Jara played the full 90 minutes and eventually became champion along with the rest of his teammates.
AGREDE A AFICIONADO EN PLENO PARTIDO
Jara once again became the protagonist of a controversial action in the match against Uruguay in the Copa America 2019. A fan, who was wearing a chicken mask, entered the field and the Chilean defender stopped him with a trip. Gonzalo's aggression towards the fan garnered national and international media attention.
DEJA LA BUNDESLIGA ENTRE RUMORES DE INFIDELIDAD
In 2016, Gonzalo decided to leave the Bundesliga and return to his country to play for the Universidad de Chile, which he described as the club of his dreams. However, German media reported that the defender left Germany due to infidelity, a situation that led Jara's wife to demand his return to Chile.
