On the other hand, he had only words of affection for a coach he considers as a father: "I remember his way of being, personality, the affinity between us. We went through so many things. I was his son. I have had many privileges with Ricardo Gareca and I don't think it will happen again with anyone else. The Tigre is my father," added Neyra.

He would say, 'let the fat guy do it today'. He is a very paternal coach and a very good person," concluded the former Universitario player.
Donny Neyra, a great figure for Universitario de Deportes directed by Ricardo Gareca in 2008, who won the Apertura Tournament championship, spoke about Sunday's classic against Alianza Lima (where he also played), the 'Bidón', remembered that he will always be the "favorite" of the 'Tigre' and mentioned Christian Cueva.
