The topic of Juan Escobar in Cruz Azul will continue to be a recurring topic and now in a new chapter, the analyst of the ESPN network in Mexico, Ricardo Ferretti He assured in defense of the Guaraní player after listening to the statements made to the now Toluca defender in an interview by the same television company: “they should have respected Escobar’s hierarchy.”

The former seven-time Liga MX champion coach with Tigres, Chivas and Pumas also added on the subject of Juan Escobar: “The coaches on duty must respect a player with that same hierarchy, since the career, leadership, among other details, must support the work of a footballer,” he stated.
Juan Escobar broke the silence
Prior to Ferretti’s statements, the Red Devils defender, Juan Escobar decided to break the silence about the details of his departure at Cruz Azul and he blamed the sports director of the Celeste Machine, the Uruguayan Iván Alonso, for almost the entire issue.
“At no time did I say that I did not like the arrival of Martín Anselmi, I always told him and the sports director Iván Alonso“(the president and my colleagues know this) that I always spoke well of him and the work he does in the best way,” he said.
And he added that: “I never conditioned that, because I saw many comments that say that I did not want to compete for a place and that is a lie. There, the sports director (Iván Alonso) was a little more to blame because he had already fixed that with the coach, he had already spoken with Anselmi, but another situation occurred that really surprised me and that is why I decided to leave the team. Above all, because it was one thing and ended up being another. I never blame the coach, but the sports director does, I think he was more to blame for the way I came out,” highlighted the Guaraní defender.
As you will remember, the most talked about topic in the Liga MX environment was the alleged indiscipline of the Paraguayan Juan Escobar. when he did not accept to play with the alternate team in a preparation duel and supposedly demanded ownership in accordance with his emblems and career in the Celeste Machine.
In this regard, Escobar emphasized that: “The furthest thing from reality was that, I always respected the coach and I think that in the whole matter, the one who was most at fault was the sports director,” he concluded.
