A video of Armando “La Hormiga” González walking apparently alone after Olympiacos' last match in Greece sparked controversy on social media, where some users questioned whether the Mexican forward is being ignored by his new teammates. The images caused all kinds of comments, mainly in support of the young player, who recently moved to Europe to pursue his sporting dream.
The Mexican striker made his official debut with Olympiacos on August 30, 2026, in the match against Asteras Tripolis, a game in which La Hormiga's team took the victory with a 1-0 score. However, what drew the most attention from the game was not Armando González's participation, but the way he was treated by his colleagues.
The Olympiacos players went to one of the ends of the stadium to celebrate with their fans. Later, they began to return to the locker rooms, and it was then that some attendees captured La Hormiga walking separated from the rest of the group.
You can even see how the 23-year-old tries to talk to them, but the footballers ignore him, so he stays serious and prefers to keep walking alone. The scene was interpreted by some users as a sign that the Mexican is struggling to integrate into his new team and get to know the players.
"He is there to play, not to make friends," "Well, he doesn't speak the language and doesn't master English; I don't know how many speak English there, Greek is very complex to learn, he should have considered that," "Well, how were they supposed to approach him if he missed the 2-0 with such a clear chance," "He just arrived, give him a chance," "I felt like hugging him, poor thing," "I do want to be your friend, Hormiga," and "He wanted to take that opportunity and it is totally normal that the first weeks or months he is going to be like that."
Most fans pointed out that González has just joined the team and is still going through a process of adaptation to a new country, language, football culture, and locker room, so it is possible that these types of videos will continue to come to light.
How was Armando González's debut with Olympiacos?
La Hormiga's debut in European football was marked by positive and difficult moments. The attacker had opportunities to score, but could not convert them. The clearest chance ended with a shot that hit the crossbar.
Despite this, González achieved his first official minutes with the Greek club and formally began his adventure in Europe.
