Mid-June, the Peruvian National Team was preparing for the upcoming playoff against Australia. Although the result was not what the fans were expecting, there was a controversial incident that sparked a lot of discussion.
In this incident, Christian Cueva and Silvio Valencia were the main characters. The former accused the '10' of verbally assaulting him during training under Ricardo Gareca's command. This incident caused the 'Tigre' session to be suspended and generated a lot of speculation about what really happened.

In a recent interview, 'Sensei' revealed exactly what Christian Cueva said to him. According to the pressman, 'Aladino' called him "soplete".
"Hasta ahora yo sigo pensando que no me equivoqué, creo que Cueva fue el que inició todo este tema al decirme 'habla soplete'. Ahí hubo toda una controversia, que yo había ido a molestar a la selección", sostuvo para "Moloko Podcast".
"Es más, me llamaron de la selección para decirme que hay que tirar todos para el mismo lado y no había ningún problema", agregó Valencia, recordando que no tiene ningún problema con a Federación Peruana de Fútbol.
