Mascot, one of the club's symbols, plays a role of hanging out with players and fans and heating up the atmosphere of the ground.

They actively communicate with players as well as their fans. They sometimes give high-fives or participate in goal celebration when entering a match. After a match, they hug and share high-fives with players to encourage spectators' support. Players sometimes treat such mascots in a friendly and playful manner.

Manchester City ace Elling Holan was reportedly assaulted by his mascot Moonbeam. The Sun reported on Monday (Korea time) that a female employee of the club who was working in Moonbeam costume reported Holan to the police for assault.

Manchester City has Moonchester, a male mascot, and Moonbeam, a female mascot. The setting is that he is an alien from the planet Blue Moon. "After winning against Southampton in October last year, I took a photo with Holan and was hit in the head," said the former Moonbeam employee. "I was shocked at the time and asked my colleagues what happened," he said. "I was so shocked that my head was pounding, and I cried in anger. Later, I found out that Holan was hitting me on the head (in a Moonbeam mask) and leaning on me," he said. "I told the club's safety director about this, but he laughed off, saying, 'At least I can say Holan hit you.' "Since then, I have had neck pain and vomiting, so I have been consulted by my team doctor, and I have been advised to go to the hospital," he said. The female employee was eliminated from the contract renewal interview in December last year and has now left Manchester City.

After receiving the report, Manchester City launched an investigation based on hospital examination records and CCTV footage. The CT scan at the hospital found no head damage. In the CCTV footage at the time, Holan was seen gently touching his back or head while taking a picture with Moonbeam. 바카라사이트

A Manchester City official said, "After a thorough investigation, we did not find any basis to support the (employee's) claim," adding, "The Greater Manchester Police also received a report, but no further action was taken."
