Esteban Paredes, captain of Colo Colo, spoke in depth about the bad moment the team is experiencing in the National Championship and affirmed this “powerful crisis “ He hadn’t experienced it in the 10 years he’s been on the team.
“We never expected to reach these instances that made us fight with the leadership first and later There were internal fights that I had not seen in the 10 years that I have been at the club. We had never had discussions like this between colleagues. Today we are paying the consequences of all that“, he commented to The Mercury.
The historic Chilean soccer scorer also recognized that the priority is to win, recognizing that the image left by the team after the fall to O’Higgins last week was disastrous.
“Unfortunately we are in crisis. This has not been seen in many years. After five months without playing it was very strange to return, but you have to see reality and we are in a powerful crisis. You have to win urgently. The image that we left before O’Higgins was very poor, the lowest in many years “he explained.
In addition, he told details of a discussion that they carried out Julio Barroso and Pablo Mouche when they returned to training, for the compensatory payments that Blanco y Negro offered to a group of players on the campus.
“I was trying to calm both parties. But I can’t wear the bucket either. I’m the captain, I had to understand both of them. The companions were right: We were going to receive a money that was for image rights, which we are not to blame either, but it was unfair that the other colleagues did not receive anything. Something strange, strange, annoyances was generated. And yes: there were very high discussions, “he said.
The Leo Valencia case
Finally, the 40-year-old striker touched the case of Leonardo Valencia, who is in a judicial process for domestic violence against his former partner, Valeria Pérez, which has provoked criticism against the midfielder and the club itself, for the position it adopted on the matter.
“Outside of football, the issue of violence against women is very bad for me. It is very hard, powerful. As a captain and as a person I am totally against it. I have a mother, a wife, sisters, aunts, nieces and I would not like to see what happens to many women in this country. They don’t deserve it, “he said.
“Let’s hope that justice acts, it is the main thing. And I’m not just saying it for Leo Valencia. But if there is evidence and evidence, justice will have to apply its penalty “, concluded.
