Christian Cueva made it clear that he has no personal problems with Colombian defender Yerry Mina, to whom he dedicated a catchy song that became a hit on social media.
"Hey Yerry Mina, Hey Yerry Mina, Hey Yerry Mina, I'm going to give you your chocolate and panettone," 'Aladino' sang to Mina, who celebrated Colombia's victory in Lima at the time.
Cueva explained that the song was born because it's "part of a moment of happiness, I have never had any problems with Yerry Mina, whom I know since our time in Brazil. We have played against each other. It's not mockery, I clarify that now."
The Al Fateh midfielder from Saudi Arabia added: "It's part of happiness, I believe that as long as I do it without ill intentions, there's no reason to feel bad."
Cueva in the Qualifiers
Christian Cueva established himself as one of the best players for the Peruvian national team in the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers, where 'Aladino' was the top scorer for Peru with five goals.
In the match against Paraguay, he had a great performance and was instrumental in the goals scored by Gianluca Lapadula and Yoshimar Yotún, which earned Peru a spot in the playoffs against the representative from Asia.
