Reflections from 'el Pecoso' Castro

When his temper cools down and he receives calls from his loved ones, 'el Pecoso' Castro reflects. "My children and my wife tell me that at my age (66 years old) I should be calmer," to which the coach from Manizales responds, "I'm not killing anyone or chasing people with a gun, they are just reactions," he commented in an interview with AS Colombia.

About the sanction that the Dimayor will impose on him, after entering the Techo field, and later, giving instructions from the stands, during the match corresponding to the second date of the Liga Águila, 'el Pecoso' was extreme in comparing his mandatory location in the boxes of the different stadiums, with being deprived of freedom.

"I would like to talk to someone who can tell me how it feels in prison. I think I would more easily assimilate being in prison, because for me it is a punishment to be in the stands, knowing that I have to be on the technical line, that hurts me," said the coach of the sugar growers.

Have you ever been deprived of freedom? "I was taken many times to the police inspection of Chipre, which was the neighborhood where I lived in Manizales, because we played soccer on the street. In addition, a child at that time could not be on the street after 10 p.m., so their parents had to go and release them. In this way, the police showed the parents that they had to be careful with their children."

And regarding his defenses, after the referee Edilson Ariza expelled him from the field, 'el Pecoso' argued: "I didn't insult the referee, I didn't say anything to him and I'm not setting a bad example for my players. It's a one or two match suspension, but there was no disrespect to the public or the opponent. No referee, player or manager can say that I treated them badly."
