What happened with Edson Álvarez and Jorge Sánchez?
In a span of seven days, PSV and Ajax faced each other twice, resulting in a couple of thrilling encounters where the Granjeros team came out on top; however, these clashes left a great display of solidarity from Mexican Edson Álvarez towards his compatriot Jorge Sánchez.
In the first match held on April 23rd, corresponding to the First Division of the Netherlands, PSV's defender Patrick van Aanholt competed for a ball on the goal line with Jorge Sánchez, whom he pushed and then mocked by flexing his muscles in a sign of rudeness.

Seven days later, in the final of the Dutch Cup, the rematch for the Mexicans arrived, as although they fell once again, Patrick van Aanholt did not leave without a "souvenir" from Edson Álvarez, with whom he also fought for a ball but with a different outcome.
Edson, with his known character, did not forget the gesture against Sánchez and without hesitation made the same pose with a mocking smile from ear to ear, in addition to blowing a kiss.
Television shots provide a moment where Patrick confronts the Mexican, but when he realizes that he is being provoked, he makes a gesture of anger and angrily leaves the place.

Edson Álvarez, a defender of his teammates
This is not the first time that the Mexican, who emerged from the América academy, stands up for his teammates, perhaps one of the most remembered episodes being the altercation between Diego Laínez and Matt Miazga in a match between El Tri and the United States, where the American called the Tigres player "shorty" with some gestures and Edson appeared with a push to put him in his place.
