Jefferson Farfan He is one of the last idols of Lima Alliance. The “10 de calle” returned to La Victoria to put a poor season behind them in 2020 and win a national championship twice, leading to him recording his fifth title at the ‘blue and white’ Afterwards, he decided to retire from football due to his constant knee injuries.
Over and beyond ‘Foquita’ He stopped being a professional player in the La Victoria team, never left the institution and continued to remain a fan even if he did not like the team’s management. Now finally in an interview with the show “How about the field?”shared his discomfort with the high command of the ‘intimate’.
“I’m trying to keep a little distance because I don’t like the way the club is run. Since Franco (Navarro) came in, things have improved, but when I left I didn’t like the situation. There are the results“, he remarked.
Farfan He maintains the bad taste left by the board’s decisions after his departure from Matute. “When I left in my second year, it was very complicated and painful A two-time championship team leaves out six or seven players. The group was already formed and there was a union.”
“They had a player like Wilmer Aguirre, who comes out of the house, and the Colombian Arley Rodríguez, who was in a good moment. It was a very good group, you can’t come close to a championship team. You can alternate with some players, but changing to seven changes everything, it’s too much,” he added.
The former Schalke 04 player remembered his last stage in Lima Alliance and talked about how he tried to bring his experience to the team and work closely with them Hernan Barcos and other campus representatives. For this reason, he admits that the “mini-purge” at the club was particularly painful for him, as it affected several of his teammates and changed the union they had built.
“When I had to be there in 2021 and 2022, we tried to help the group with the experience that some players had, like Barcos, Ramos and myself. It was said that it was a second-tier team, but we managed to become champions in 2021 and two-time champions in 2022.” It was painful for many how they came out. “Nobody expected this, it seemed almost impossible,” he concluded.
On the other hand, Jefferson Farfan highlighted the classic rival, University of Sportswho won his three-time championship in the League 1 with many appointments in advance. The “10 de calle” referred to the unity that has existed in the “Merengues” dressing room for several seasons.
