Without mincing words, Julio César Uribe described the Peruvian player, with few honorable exceptions, as a "manipulator and plotter". The 'Diamante', who has managed several teams and the Peruvian national team, asserted this with unwavering certainty.
The context in which he made these statements was during a debate on Monday's edition of Fox Sports Radio Perú. The topic of discussion was: Do players undermine their coaches?
Some denied it, others remained silent, and Uribe fired back
Panelists like Julinho and José Guillermo del Solar claimed that it was a myth, while others like Óscar Ibáñez did not participate in the controversy. However, Julio César Uribe was not silent.
"The football player in Peru is a manipulator and plotter, let's not disguise things," fired the 'Diamante'.
However, he clarified: "Everyone has their own personality, and it doesn't mean that everyone is like that. There are honorable exceptions, and they deserve applause," he emphasized.
