Universitario mightn’t hit the Nilton Santos Olympic Stadium, in Brazil, losing 3-1 to Botafogo for the third day in Group D of the Copa Libertadores 2024. The student team ended a streak of 25 official games without losing and added its first loss in the continental competition following debuting with a win once morest LDU, in addition to a draw once morest Junior in Barranquilla.

After the trip to Rio de Janeiro, the team and directors of ‘U’ arrived in the capital in the morning hours this Thursday 25 April and were contacted by the press outside the Jorge Chávez International Airport.

What did Jean Ferrari say following Botafogo’s win over Universitario?

One of those who spoke regarding the impact of the defeat in Brazil was the provisional administrator of the Universitario, Jean Ferrari, who left a strange message by saying that “many are happy with the result”.

“They’ve been specific mistakes and we’re not going to focus the way some people want, because apparently a lot of people are happy with our results, but we know what we’re focusing on and we’re not going to focus on the question of saying for this or hint “It was lost and that’s it, that’s a result that can happen in football.”he stated to the media.

The cream boss emphasized being able to turn the page quickly to be able to focus on the next challenge for League 1 2024, a tournament in which they are in second place, with 30 units, one point less than the leader, Sporting Cristal.

“It has been clear to us and we are not going to make any kind of excuses because we can talk regarding many factors that arise, but the result in the end is already given and now we immediately have to think regarding Sunday, beating the Comerciantes Unidos, because we are already focused and involved in the local championship. Later, when we have to talk regarding Junior, who leads the way to a point in the area where we are, and it has become very clear that it is a difficult area, even, we have to focus on his moment,” he added.
