Colombian coach Jorge Luis Pinto described as veteran Honduran striker Carlo Costly as “filth,” whom he was in charge of when he led the Central American team between 2014 and 2017, and who last week called him “crazy and deranged”.
“I am sorry, but I do not answer him because that dirt does not deserve a response,” said the Colombian strategist, who is currently without a team, in an interview with the AS newspaper.
In statements collected by the sports newspaper Diez, from Honduras, Costly criticized Pinto last week because in his opinion “he could have gone to the World Cup in Russia, but you had to know how to handle the games, not get behind, you have to play to attack , with the little ball ”.
“In the previous process we did not hinder ourselves much, in this one with Pinto we were more concerned with defending than attacking,” added the 37-year-old forward, who plays for Platense in his country.
In this regard, the Colombian quoted another Honduran player who said: “The only one who has problems with Pinto is the one who does not like to work” and Costly has not won anything, they always ask about the most bandit and the worst worker. “
On the other hand, Pinto, who has also coached the teams in Costa Rica and Colombia, pointed out that there are several young players from his country who call his attention such as Duván Zapata, Atalanta forward who “has expressed in all offensive concepts” .
He also mentioned Jorge Carrascal, River Plate forward. “It has a lot of projection, I liked it a lot, but it still needs to continue training,” he said of him.
About another young man, Nicolás Benedetti, from Mexican America, assured that he is another player “who is going to have a great future, hopefully the teams where he goes will help him.”
In his record, Pinto, who led Costa Rica to the quarterfinals of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, has a Peruvian League title with Alianza Lima (1997), two Costa Rican championships with Alajuelense (2002 and 2003), a tournament Closing of Colombia with Cúcuta Deportivo (2006) and a Venezuelan Championship with Deportivo Táchira (2011).
Pinto has also led other Colombian teams such as Millonarios, Independiente Santa Fe, Unión Magdalena, Deportivo Cali, Atlético Bucaramanga and Junior de Barranquilla.
