Jorge Segovia signs peace with the University of Chile. The owner of Unión Española, who today resides in Miami, puts aside the differences and focuses on establishing a new relationship with the Azul Azul board of directors.
In Segovia’s head, what happened in 2019 continued to turn around. At that time, the Hispanics did not want to appear to play Chile 4 against the Blues because they assured that they had a place in the Copa Libertadores. The Spaniard, in an interview with El Deportivo, pointed to José Luis Navarrete, the then president of the secular concessionaire, whom he reproached for his actions. “It is the ultimate example of its double standard. They run to vote for the end of the championship without playing it when they are about to go to B. But they want to play the Chile Cup to see if they scratch a quota. And in this case, it seems good to play. We always vote to keep playing everything. It was the U who voted to finish them. We also have a better score in the table. The same happens in individual matches, a draw and a victory for Unión ”. “It should have dropped last year, we all know it, and it didn’t go down because of the” fix “made by the ANFP at the time. But if it descends, they do it and it is not a drama either, “he added.
From that moment, Unión Española closed the doors of Santa Laura to students. Or, rather, he put them at an unattainable price: close to $ 25 million per game. The figure was very far from what El Teniente de Rancagua asked the laity (about $ 1,500,000) to play at home.
The relationship seemed cut off forever. Even, at first, Segovia was reluctant to negotiate with the U for Cristian Palacios, its top star. However, as the days went by, the owner of SEK University agreed to meet virtually with different Azul Azul representatives to settle differences. El Chorri ended up going to U.
In the U they value a good relationship. More when these new links will help to close the location in Santa Laura. The laity cannot use the Nacional until April, according to Michael Clark, the president. This is why the stronghold of Independence appears as an option to exercise the duels that he has to play in Santiago. The idea of going to Rancagua no longer generated consensus on the campus due to the wear and tear caused by trips to the Sixth Region.
Segovia recognized the approach. “A new administration has arrived, with other ideas and other attitudes. We have talked, they assumed their responsibility for what happened, the compensation was given and now a new stage has begun. There is no more to talk about it, “he said in conversation with ADN.
“When the problems with the University of Chile are solved, we do not refuse to let us rent the Santa Laura stadium if we get the right amount. and that we have the priority to use the enclosure. Catholic University also asked us to use the campus and we are not going to deny it if we reach an agreement ”, he closed.
The U takes a step to Santa Laura. The stronghold of Independence, which so many times received the Blues in the past, appears again as an alternative in the face of the challenges that lie ahead.
