Afición de los Wolves no perdona la canallada que JLo le hizo a Raúl Jiménez
No hay doble lectura: lo que el técnico Julen Lopetegui le hizo a Raúl Jiménez en el duelo entre los Wolves y Everton fue una grotesca canallada. Y los fans del equipo inglés no se lo perdonan.
Jiménez ha tenido una temporada para el olvido, no hay como negarlo. Tan mala que se lo ha pasado las últimas semanas fuera de convocatoria o en el banco de suplentes. Tan mala que es prácticamente un hecho su salida al final de la campaña.
