“I didn’t put together the team, I didn’t bring a player, I didn’t do preseason, I came at a difficult time, I had to endure everything that was difficult. If it was after the Sudamericana it was understandable, but after we were able to go through that match again with Alianza, it was also difficult that we were left with 10, with a very rarefied atmosphere and a red that the truth left a bitter taste in me and we were able to lift it. From then on there was no more talk of any bad aspect,” said Farías.

In my career I have argued with rivals or with the press, but never with those on my team. Internally you may or may not have a different point of view. I don’t like falsehoods, I tell things as they are. I like the language of transparency and it seems that many people don’t like that.”
