Sporting Cristal is going through a bad moment both in the Peruvian tournament and within the club. The poor results that have been accompanying the 'celestes' have raised numerous questions among the fans.
One of the questions is the attitude that Yoshimar Yotún would have taken with the coach Tiago Nunes, who, at the end of the last match against Universidad César Vallejo, were involved in a tense scene in front of fans and players on the field of the Alberto Gallardo Stadium.
After this incident, barristas entered the Estadio Nacional on Sunday while the rimenses were training to confront Yotún and validate the work done by the Brazilian strategist. After all these actions, the coach and president Joel Raffo spoke in a press conference, where they gave their response to these events.
A very popular case in the history of Cristal was the statements made by former president Felipe Cantuarias, who was in charge of the board during the 2011 season and issued a statement about the situation he was facing with certain players' improper behavior.
What did Cantuarias say?
"I won't hesitate to separate from this team those players who do not commit to the club. I don't care if they are national team players, I don't care if they are players who are about to be sold abroad. The institution comes first," he stated.
Why did the former president make those statements?
In November 2011, Sporting Cristal was in the bottom positions of the Descentralizado table, they even suffered a 4-0 defeat against San Martín that put them in a dangerous position. At that time, Juan Reynoso was in charge of the first team. Days later, Cantuarias announced his departure and made controversial statements against players who were not performing up to expectations.
