"Professionally, I believe that I stand out for having been able to stay in competitive leagues, mainly for being a flag of my country, for having achieved more things, but I think that in life we make decisions," he said in an interview with journalist Susana Gutiérrez Rivera.

But beyond that, the 'Loco' also stated that he regrets having made the decision to return to Peruvian football in 2017 (to play for Universitario de Deportes), as this led him to end his sports career.

"I could have kept playing, but I made decisions that made me leave football, that made me leave Europe. One of them was to return early, I said that 11 years had already passed, it was time to go back, I would have wanted to stay abroad, maybe in Spain or Italy, but those are decisions that were made and there is no turning back," he expressed.

However, Juan Manuel Vargas emphasized that, despite this, he feels that it is from these types of things that one learns. "You have to continue with what you decided to do, and for better or worse, you learn from that," he concluded.
