Valencia, who was recently a guest on 'Qué ha pasao' with Miguel Moreno and La Puka, referred to the presence of Juan Reynoso in the Peruvian national team and also recalled the incident he had with Christian Cueva during a training session in Spain, which led to a confrontation with several players from the national team.
More information Silvio Valencia wants to 'replace' Reynoso as the national team coach and gives him advice for the match against El Salvador
Valencia was fired from Exitosa Deportes after an altercation with Christian Cueva during a training session of the Peruvian national team in Spain, as they prepared for the playoffs for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. This caused some problems with other players of the national team, as he recently revealed.
“Several players have called me. (Renato) Tapia, for example, has asked me 'don't talk nonsense'. (Sergio) Peña also told me 'do not speak nonsense, please sir, respect the national team, we get nervous, I get nervous when I go to training'”, he initially stated.
In response, the pressman considered that he believes he "scares" the players of the Peruvian national team. However, he made it clear that he has no intention of bothering them when he goes to training.
“I told him at that time, 'relax, I'm not going to bother, I want the national team to go to the World Cup'. But they feel that I try to persuade them when I see them. I believe I scare them”, he added.
Criticized Reynoso for his lineup against Mexico
In addition, Silvio Valencia did not miss the opportunity to take a shot at Juan Reynoso, recommending that he play Piero Quispe in the next FIFA friendly match of the national team against El Salvador.
“To me, it seemed like an unimportant match because the national team didn't play well. I think Reynoso is making a mistake with this lineup, he needs to make some changes. Now, against El Salvador, he will surely invite a man that I request, Piero Quispe, he is the Peruvian Alexis Sánchez. Remember this name, respect it, Reynoso. Quispe should play tomorrow and make many variations,”
