Although Pedro Garcia is one of the most respected sports journalists today, that does not mean he is free from criticism on social media by his followers.
In reality, his recent comments about Bryan Reyna, whom he called "pobre" ("poor"), surprised a large number of Twitter users, as they argued that he should have used the word "humilde" ("humble").
However, Pedro Garcia argued that "humilde" ("humble") and "pobre" ("poor") mean the same thing, which sparked another debate on social media about the true concept of these words.
According to the Real Academia Española, 'pobre' can be used to describe a 'humilde' ("humble") person, but it also has other meanings such as "unhappy", "low-spirited", and "scarce".
On the other hand, the word 'humilde' ("humble") is described as "living modestly", which is what Pedro Garcia had tried to convey with his statements on Movistar Deportes.
It is worth noting that Bryan Reyna was present in the starting eleven of the Peruvian National Team in their friendly match against El Salvador, which the 'Blanquirroja' won by a landslide.
