Football player Reimond Manco He was one of the great promises of Peruvian soccer. However, her bad decisions off the field of play did not help her consolidate her talent. At the time, the skilled player was tempted by big clubs, the mighty Real Madrid being one of them.
In an interview with Luis Guadalupe on the sports program “La fe del Cuto”, he indicated that, following breaking it in the South American sub-17 of Ecuador 2007, He had several proposals from clubs abroad. Within all this, Manco decided on PSV, a team that included Jefferson Farfán.
“Before that contract (PSV), there was a pile of papers with the proposals that were for me in the office of Raul Gonzales. But I was from Chibolo, I didn’t know anything, I didn’t read anything. Raúl was never mean to me, he never forced me to do anything, he always consulted me, but how was I going to make the best decision if I didn’t have experience. Among all those proposals there was one from Real Madrid ”, beginning.
“Raúl traveled to Spain, met with Predrag Mijatović, who was the manager at that time of the minor divisions. They sent me pencils and all the souvenirs they sent. He told me: ‘Look, there you will go to Madrid Castilla, on the other hand, in PSV you will go to the first team. At 17 you don’t think, but if I had gone to Madrid Castilla, I would have continued to grow, form and, when it was my turn, it was my turn. Another would have been the story.
Finally, he expressed his regret for not having favored the white box. “You know that if you make your debut with Real Madrid, your life will be guaranteed forever. If I had had someone else by my side who told me: ‘Hey, you’re not going to earn as much money here, but you’re going to train better,’ he pointed out.
