The central defender of Sport Huancayo, Víctor Balta, expressed his annoyance with Sporting Cristal coach Tiago Nunes, with whom he had a heated exchange of words after the match that ended in a 2-0 victory for the rimense team.
In statements to Liga 1 Max, the "Rojo Matador" player criticized the Brazilian coach for his attitude and urged him to "face up" to the strong words he allegedly said to him and his teammates.
"Apart from the result, the anger is because of the lack of respect from the Cristal coach. If he's a man, he should face up and take responsibility for what he did on the field. As a professional, I wouldn't like it," said the popular "cuchillo".
The captain of the Huancaíno team refused to reveal what the 43-year-old coach said, but urged him to apologize for his words: "I'm not going to say what happened, because I don't want to add fuel to the fire, but if he likes fighting with everyone, if he's a man, he should apologize. That's all I'm going to say," he said.
