The president of America, Michel Bauer, spoke to the players of Club America following a second shooting, this time to Juan Carlos Silva. A little over a week ago Salvador Cabañas was shot in the head in a nightclub in Mexico City.
Mexico City has one of the highest crime rates in the world, which has been attributed by some to its high population density. That, however, does not mean that Club America will take measures to increase security as Michel Bauer explained.
“We’ve always had things secure within the club. We have talked to the players and let them know that they need to be conscience of what’s happening in the streets and where ever they might go. They also need to take their own precautionary measures,” Bauer told Mexican daily Reforma.
Bauer also explained that the America Players don’t have a target on their backs and it could happen to anyone.
“This unfortunately can happen to anyone who goes out on the streets and they’re not secure. We need to be more precautious, that’s what’s recommended,” noted Bauer.
Bauer explained what happened in “El Torito's” case.
“He drops off his girlfriend at night, he gets out of the car and two people confront him wanting to take his car. He tries to convince them not to and that’s when they shoot so that he can let them have the car.”
“Fortunately it wasn’t anything serious and he was able to go home and go to the hospital to see a doctor,” explained Bauer.
The President of America spoke out about the high crime rate that they deal with every day. It not only happens to celebrities but to everyday people that try to make a good honest living. This is why we should put in our part to fix this explained Bauer.
“We don’t have to talk about statistics because it is high, but we have to be conscience of where we're living and what’s happening around us,” stressed Bauer. “We need to put in our own grain of sand to try and correct this problem because nobody likes to live in that type of society.”
In Salvador Cabañas’ case, Bauer was unable to visit the player but keeps very well informed on the player’s condition.
“I spoke with the doctor. He was really tired and gave him a sedative so that he could rest. He’s calm and he’s progressing but it doesn’t mean he’ll make a full recovery tomorrow,” said Bauer.
