Carlos Simeone, the father of Diego Simeone, has admitted that he was as surprised as everyone else when he saw his son grabbing his crotch in celebration during Atletico Madrid's 2-0 victory over Juventus.
The coach's gesture has been criticised by some, but his father hopes there won't be a ban for it.
"I didn't teach him that, I don't know where it came from," he said in an interview with the 'El Larguero' show on Cadena SER.
"It surprised me because I thought that kind of thing was from another time.
"But it was a build-up of strange feelings and nothing more.
"I hope they don't punish him for it as it was done at his own stands and his own fans.
"It was a very interesting game, although the tie isn't over, not at all.
"I can't see my son away from Atletico Madrid.
"Football can surprise you, but right now I can't see him away from Atletico."
He also went on to discuss the gestures of Cristiano Ronaldo, who pointed to his five Champions League titles.
"It was a heat-of-the-moment thing," he said.
"I respect the player, as he is extraordinary."

A dirty team and a dirty coach.

It surprises me that it is the deer that scratch their clothes with this gesture of Simeone. Those same ones who cheered an assault from Isco to Gabi, those same ones of the "Mou, your finger shows us the way". The summum of hypocrisy and cynicism. If I understand that from outside it may seem like a bad taste, but put yourself in context and you will understand it. Now, to the great majority that are made the bidding and take advantage to put tares ... Neither case. Those bothered by every goal that El Cholo celebrates effusively, it bothers them to watch him cheer the fans and the fans respond, they are upset by everything he says or what he does. A gesture to which they can put behind the label "obscene" is carnaza for them, a new bullshit with which to justify their hatred. If you have taken for granted, is your problem: Simeone already explained in the postpartido.

How heavy you are, is an impulsive person, it is not an ugly gesture considering that it is to our tier and the good feeling that there is

I would have surprised you to behave with education or moderation. Because Simeon makes absurd and ridiculous fuss, I do not think anyone is surprised.

Don't be surprised DAD, the Bible says train up a Child in the Way he should grow, and when he's old he will not depart from it
