Roberto Mosquera on John Mosquera: “We didn’t expect that he would have such a serious injury”

Sporting Cristal ran out of chances to continue in the race in an international tournament for the rest of the year, but its situation is different in League 1. The team from Rima is one of the teams that is fighting to win the Apertura Tournament and, in the prelude to his match against Universitario, his coach, Roberto Mosquera, was the protagonist of an interview broadcast by the institution’s official channel.

Among other issues, the technical director referred to John Jairo Mosquera, who came to the team as a reinforcement and whose goodbye was announced in the first days of May, after discreet presentations in a light blue shirt. What was the participation of the DT in the dismissal? Mosquera replied.

“More than my participation, it was my feeling of having disappointed the trust. We brought John Jairo because in 40 games he scored 26 goals and he was hanging on any net, you can see it. We didn’t count on the fact that he was going to have such a serious injury, which I didn’t even know, which is a bone edema. He needed a hyperbaric chamber and a lot of things and the time of the Copa Libertadores passed away ”said the strategist.

Mosquera explained that the arrival of John Jairo was for the Copa Libertadores, considering the youth of elements such as Christopher Olivares and Percy Liza.

“We brought him to the Cup, because of the youth of Christopher Olivares and Percy Liza, so that they enter when they had to enter, but that we had a ‘9’, which I know that if it had been good, our chances of passing, with what we have generated and with the goals we have lost, I think we would have made it to the second round”said the DT.

On the other hand, Mosquera apologized to the fans of Sporting Cristal, regarding some statements that could have been misunderstood.

“I owe a sincere apology to all the fans, I think they took my statements out of context. The question was about the dissatisfaction of the fans, and some critics who are only resultists, and I answered that there was indeed an acid criticism and that they did not value the game”, he expressed.
