The sports director of La Roja, Francis Cagigao, denied an intervention by the representative Fernando Felicevich in La Roja and criticized those who believe that he directs the team.
The sports director of chilean soccer teamFrancis Cagigao, met the constant criticism of the national representative for an alleged intervention by agent Fernando Felicevich.
Let’s remember that FF has several players who defend the colors of La Roja, mainly highlighting three giants of the Golden Generation: Gary Medel, Arturo Vidal and Alexis Sánchez.
But not only that. The representative has been gaining space with young talents who have also reached the ‘Everyone’s Team’ in recent times, which has aroused more than one suspicion in the local football environment.
Brayan Cortés, Zacarías López, Marcelino Núñez, Pablo Parra, Gonzalo Tapia and Diego Valencia are names that have joined the ‘Team Felicevich’. All were summoned to tour Asia.
“Rare, rare… Very rare the appointment of players for the Chilean National Team,” commented the president of the Spanish Union, Jorge Segovia, in an enigmatic message that many considered to be dedicated to Felicevich.
“One day the sports press will have the courage to denounce what is happening or will they prefer to remain silent?” he added.
“When he won, nobody talked regarding it”
Despite the controversy that has arisen, Cagigao remarked that the representative has no major interference in La Roja and its environment.
“Fernando Felicevich, I don’t know how many players he has in this National Team. In the last Copa América that Chile won, he was 16. It was won, nobody talked regarding it”lamented this Friday at a press conference.
“On the other hand, when we do analysis, video editing, testimonial reports, watching games… the last thing we are thinking regarding is who is the representative of this or another,” he added.
In relation to the same, Cagigao pointed out that “for us it is not important. Here the entry of representatives is prohibited.
“Perhaps none of them have hit the right question. It would be turning this around and asking footballers ‘why are you going with this agent?’. You guys have a vested interest in it, I don’t care,” she closed.
