Juan Carlos Oblitas had been carrying out his press conference as normal until the sports commentator Silvio Valencia took the microphone. The journalist fired from Exitosa for insulting Christian Cueva wanted to put on a show by arguing with the former sports director of the FPF.
YOU WILL BE INTERESTED | Ricardo Gareca: the time he kicked Johan Fano out of the ‘U’ for this tremendous foul
Valencia Guerra told him that Néstor Bonillo “lied to the country” in the Farfán case, that he and Gareca had disrespected Agustín Lozano and that, in addition, he also disrespected Marcos Calderón by considering the ‘Tigre’ as the best DT who has had the selection.
Oblitas did not lose his composure and tried to answer. “Silvio I’m only going to answer the last question. The others don’t come to the conference I’m giving at all. I do speak with Agustín (Lozano). At what point have I said that I am not speaking to Agustín? Ricardo at no time has disrespected him (…) Have you ever heard me say that the technician who comes is going to do a good job? That’s what you want to understand, it’s your character, I understand, but we better leave it that way. What do you want him to answer you if he has nothing to do with it?”initially noted.
“How am I going to disrespect Marcos Calderón if he is a coach that I have had and is one of the most successful? But for me, Ricardo Gareca is the most successful coach in Peruvian football. That is my assessment and yours is another. The problem, Silvio, is that you are bringing up issues that have nothing to do with the conference I am giving. Let’s leave it there and then we’ll talk, calm down “sentenced.
However, Valencia did not understand reasons and continued looking for the fight, despite the fact that he no longer had the microphone. Fed up with the communicator’s arrogance, the fellow journalists who were in the room began to silence him. One of them might even be heard yelling at him: “Respect”.
Why didn’t Oblitas renew with the FPF?
Juan Carlos Oblitas presided over a press conference in which he gave details of his non-renewal with the FPF. In that sense, he said that the talks had not been closed until Roberto Silva called him to tell him that they were offering him his position in the FPF.
“I signed a contract with Agustín Lozano and I am not going to fall into pettiness to make a circus commenting on things that are not. I want to specify, I have not resigned, I cannot resign from a position that I do not have. I ended my contract the day following the game with Australia and at Lozano’s request I stayed to look for Ricardo’s renewal “he recounted.
“After Ricardo happened, we talked to see my possible renewal in the FPF, the talks were cut short and yesterday (Thursday) I talked with the general secretary and we agreed that things would cool down a bit and that on Monday we might go back to return, When I was on my way home, Roberto Silva called me telling me that he had been offered the position, I was not surprised by the way things were handled”he added.
Oblitas said that, upon learning that the FPF was already looking for his replacement, he decided to step aside to facilitate negotiations with his likely replacement.
“I told Silva that he had my support, logically when I got home, I prepared the statement that I put out so that the FPF can make the decision it wants. There were no dramas, there are things that might have been better, but things are as they are, all I want is the best for Peruvian football “he expressed.
“Chemo called me before, and they offered him another position. In the end he told me that he wanted to continue directing and I understand that he said the same thing to the people of the FPF ”held. “I wanted to continue but I preferred to leave the path free”sentenced.
