Felipe Rodríguez
Felipe Rodríguez, player of Cusco FC, starred in a tense moment with the local press after the match against Union Comercio in Liga 1. The Uruguayan forward had strong words prior to the clash against Alianza Lima.
Through a video published by Best Cable on their Twitter account, we can see a very upset 'Felucho' Rodríguez with the local press.
"Who says that the matches are becoming difficult for us? Those are nonsense from you and it's because of that nonsense that the crowd gets riled up and comes to scream at us because they know nothing about football," said the player from Cusco FC.
Later, Felipe Rodríguez continued. "Anyone who wants to whistle at me in the stadium should go to Google and look up my entire career, the career I had and the teams I played for. That's when I played with people who really know football," he exclaimed.
The popular 'Felucho' later had tense words with the press from Cusco. "The people here can come whistle at me, I don't give a damn, I'm going to keep playing and I'm going to give my maximum to win the matches and play well. After that, what people outside say, I don't give a damn," he declared.
Finally, he concluded. "How can we not play well if we're creating many goal scoring opportunities. Whether they are converted or not is another matter, but the team played well. All the matches in Liga 1 are uphill battles for everyone. Goals are missed just like Alianza does, just like University misses goals, just like Cristal," he said.
