The harsh criticism that Pedro Carcuro made against Ben Brereton brought blows, and two former La Roja coaches came out to defend the forward. https://twitter.com/lacuarta/status/1801322393647907065 and stating that his statements are “zero contribution” to football.
“I take responsibility. People love him and they go crazy every time they mention him, he surprisingly has the status of an idol and a great player, but he doesn’t seem like it to me and he doesn’t convince me,” said the TVN reporter about Brereton during his participation on Radio Agriculture.
“I don’t see the category in him to be in the Chilean team (…) bring him to a reality show like Big Brother,” Carcuro added.
“Zero contribution”
Carcuro was criticized after the forward missed a clear scoring chance in the friendly where Chile beat Paraguay 3-0, but that bothered Juvenal Olmos and Claudio Broghi, who focused their criticism on the journalist.
During the TNT Sports program Todos Somos Técnicos, Aldo Schiapacasse put the topic in the debate, stating that he trusted Brereton and that he did not agree with Carcuro’s words, to which Manuel de Tezanos said that “now he was going to enter ”.
“Are we seriously going to talk about what Mr. Carcuro said? (…)But the criticism he makes has no basis. He ends up saying a reality show instead of taking on a serious football topic, because what he makes is a heavy criticism. But he jumps in and ends up talking about a reality show… I mean.“Zero contribution of your words,” Olmos said.
Then it was Claudio Borghi’s turn, the former coach of Colo Colo accused Carcuro of wanting to take advantage of a situation and recalled that when he was coach of La Roja, who at the time recommended people to him to work in the national team.
“Ben is the first player to miss a goal, right? (….) When a journalist wants to take advantage of a situation it makes me a little angry. I say this because once upon a time the same journalist, when I was a national team coach, proposed people to work for the national team. (…) A player on a team had recovered and said that the doctor was wonderful,” added Borghi.
Although he did not mention it explicitlyPedro Carcuro’s son, Giovanni, He is a doctor by profession and has dedicated himself to working with sports teams, later being part of the medical staff of the University of Chile and the Chilean national team when the coach was Jorge Sampaoli.
