What’s more, they taught you to cover the ball. Remember that you owe a lot to ‘ Neneka’ (Elías Acevedo), who made you put in the goal. They invited you to first class one day and you stayed because of that. Jefferson has remained silent, but even he told you that you were a scamp because you didn’t grab one. “he added.

(…) I had often limited myself in responding to this tar***, because he is a tar***, he is a jerk, a jerk, Jefferson Farfán is my friend, I send him a hug. “I’m waiting for him to invite me because I want to go sit there and say a few things. Because to laugh at that antics, I had to say what you think,” he said.
