Farfán ruthlessly attacks his own club on Instagram: “They want to sew me”

Jefferson Farfán is not at all satisfied with the measures taken by his Lokomotiv Moscow club as a result of the crown crisis. The group of players from the best Russian club agreed this week with a 40 percent pay cut, but the former PSV attacker shows on Instagram that he disagrees. “They want to sew me,” said the 35-year-old Peruvian.

Farfán maintained a live broadcast on his Instagram account with Roberto Guizasola, with whom he played with Alianza Lima and the Peruvian national team. “They can get anything from me except my money,” Farfán said irritably to his former teammate on the public broadcast. Farfán, who has played for Lokomotiv since January 2017, received a letter at his Moscow home this week informing him of his 40 percent cut in wages.

“They sent me a letter in Russian, I did not receive it at all. I broke it, they want to sew me,” says Farfán with a smile on his face. Incidentally, Farfán’s last official match for Lokomotiv dates back to May 4 last year; Since then, the former Schalke 04 and PSV striker suffered a serious knee injury. Farfán’s contract, which reportedly earns about $ 1.5 million a year, expires June 30.

Vedran Corluka, the Lokomotiv captain, previously said in a statement that he did support the club’s move. The 34-year-old Croatian says the decision was made by the group of players in solidarity with the rest of the club’s staff, who maintain their salary. “Coronavirus has a great impact on the way of life and the economy of all countries. We have great respect for Lokomotiv employees and now we must support them,” said Corluka.

“Soccer, like the rest of sports, has stopped and players around the world are going to reduce their wages while the sport stops. Our team believes that this step is very necessary,” Corluka concluded. In any case, the salary reduction will apply until May 31, the day on which the resumption of the Russian league is planned. Number two Lokomotiv is eight points from Zenit Saint Petersburg with eight games to play.
