The attacker was led by Oblitas when he was part of the Peruvian U-20 team and the mark he left on him remains with him to this day. In that sense, Alva showed all his admiration for the popular ‘Ciego’.
“His bearing, how he spoke to you, always well dressed, there he was in his forties, he had some yucas. He was a lot of talk, I liked that and training with him at 17, 18 years old was a luxury “held.
Alva remembered how once Juan Carlos Oblitas he had to take out of his own money to give him some per diem that had been stolen from him.
“The ‘Blind’, what quality of technician. Talking regarding Juan is the only gay side I have, it’s extraordinary. If they tell me to reincarnate in someone, it is in him. In a game they gave me 100 dollars in travel expenses, I left them, I went to train and they were lost. I told him: ‘Juan, they robbed me.’ He told me not to fight. the next day, from his money he gave me 100 coconuts”, he recounted.
“The only one that fails, and it was always my claim, is that it was trusted. That was the only process that was only trained for 3 months, in minors. There is always that feeling of what would have happened if we had had at least six months of preparation. Alvarado was a starter in Cristal, Pompo, Tony Oswaldo and Mario, they rarely went to the national team, the cholo Pardo alternated often. Balvín, played in Cienciano “he added.
The slap to Amoako
Piero Alva gave an account of the tenacity of the ‘Ciego’. Already retired from soccer activity, Oblitas continued with an enviable physique and did not back down when fighting. This was demonstrated in a clash that he had with the African striker Prince Amoako.
“Once they kicked one of the boys, I think it was Prince Amoako, and the ‘Ciego’ stopped practice and said: “What’s up, it’s a practice match”, and the zambo kind of wants to send him to the m…, he makes a gesture”beginning.
Oblitas took this gesture as a lack of respect and, far from calling for calm to continue training, decided to apply a corrective that the Ghanaian was not going to receive well.
“Then the ‘Ciego’ slaps him in the face and the zambo became like an animal. Do you think the ‘Blind’ took a step back? he even said not to catch him, to leave him. Those gestures had “sentenced.
