A few weeks back, our featured “Pic of the Week” showed Fernando Torres receiving a warm reception from supporters upon his return to his former club. And while this week’s selection also features a picture of a former player being greeted back at his old stomping grounds, it’s fair to say that Steven Defour was welcomed back in a drastically different tone. So why exactly did Defour get such a hostile greeting at his Standard Liège compared to El Niño’s at Atlético? While Torres returned to play for his former club, Defour returned to play against his former club… with their arch rivals.

After spending five years with Les Rouches, the highly rated Belgian international moved on to Porto — despite constant links to Manchester United, including an odd “get well soon” letter from Sir Alex Ferguson in 2009. A talented player moving on to a bigger club was something the Standard Liège supporters could tolerate. What they couldn’t tolerate, however, was Defour returning to the Belgium’s Jupiler Pro League to play for the most hated foes, Anderlecht.

Unfortunately, Defour did just that this transfer window. And as such, the red faithful of Standard expressed their displeasure with a massive tifo showing his head decapitated from its body.

Apparently the message got through to Defour and he decided to heed the advice of his former supporters in the only way possible: by seeing red in the match. He was sent off in the second half for picking up a second yellow. Better to see red rather than to actually end up, you know… dead. Wise move.
