After the difficult week that Rafael Márquez experienced, who is linked to money laundering from a drug trafficking network in Guadalajara, his Atlas teammates supported the player born in Michoacán.
When both teams took the field in the Liga MX protocol, the Atlas players displayed Rafael Márquez's jersey with the number 4 in support of their captain.
WE RECOMMEND: Alejandro Fernández shows support for Julión and Rafa.
Rafael Márquez, due to his legal situation, chose not to play and was absent from the match against Águilas del América. The Atlas leaders have not yet defined the situation of the central defender.
Among the players, this is the first show of support for the most experienced member of the squad; the red-black team had remained silent without defining whether it was at the request of their leadership; even the player himself appreciated the shows of affection from the club, teammates, and fans through his official Twitter account.
"My family and I appreciate all the shows of support and solidarity we have received. Thank you very much! Let's go Team. #FielXAtlas #4ctitud", reads @RafaMarquezMX.
ATLAS FANS NO LONGER YELL "PUTO"
Since the last match against Pumas, the Atlas fans have stopped insulting the visiting goalkeepers when they clear the ball. This measure, promoted by the Barra 51, is still in effect and during the match against the Americanistas, they did not yell at Agustín Marchesín.
Atlas is the third team to stop using this chant, after Tigres and Pachuca also did so.
