Rumba, drink, lies and fights: the cocktail that made Johan Arango the most undisciplined Colombian footballer in recent times

The race of Johan Arango has had as protagonists acts of indiscipline, the player who is part of the ranks of the Binational of Peru added one more to his record this week; was denounced for the attempted rape of a woman, during a party at dawn on Friday, at the home of the Mexican soccer player Ómar Tejada, who belonged to Melgar’s staff.

The 29-year-old from Valle del Cauca made a difference in Colombian professional soccer since its inception thanks to his exquisite technique, but the talent with his feet took a back seat with his behavior outside the green rectangle. In 2014, Arango was part of the staff of Once Caldas commanded by Flabio Torres; In a practice, prior to the trip to Bogotá to face Independiente Santa Fe, he showed up late and the breathalyzer test they performed gave him positive results. The player explained to the newspaper El Tiempo that he had had a beer at home, eating, but the argument was not enough for the coach, who disaffected him from the call.

In his second passage through the Manizales box, in 2017, did not attend a training session after reporting ill, but local media versions indicated that a fan provided evidence that confirmed that he was partying at a rumba establishment in the city. The helmsman in charge, Francisco Maturana, spoke about Arango at a press conference. “I choose the incumbents according to the practices. I said it’s a waste because he has conditions. I have an image of Johan and he has not shown it to me, ”said ‘Pacho’.

Had a short pass by Independent Medellin, in 2016, for his acts of indiscipline. Five months were enough for the coach Leonel Alvarez, who made his departure public. “Johan does not continue with Medellín. He no longer goes with us, it only remains to wish him luck and hopefully with all the talent he has he can take advantage of it in another institution, since despite the group of players, a loyal fan that always supports and a wonderful city where everyone wants to be He did not know how to take advantage of the opportunities that were given him, ”explained Álvarez.

He wrote two chapters with the shirt of Independent Santa Fe, in both the bad behavior poked the head. In the first, in 2017, coach Gustavo Costas could not deal with his disobedience and was removed from the squad. He returned in 2019 and was involved in a vehicular crash on the Tenjo road; his reprehensible acts and poor performance gave him his ticket out of the capital institution.

To the list, events such as attacks on the field were added; in the debut with the shirt of Deportivo PastoIn 2016, he was expelled for violent conduct against an Atlético Bucaramanga footballer. Also, another absence from a club training session Chiapas Jaguars, which led to the announcement of the Mexican club licensing it.

The title of the Superliga with Independiente Santa Fe and his high-quality goals seem anecdotal, Johan Arango has taken the spotlight of public opinion using the suit of indiscipline and a history of exits through the back door of the clubs.
