Paolo Guerrero: the story behind the virtual meeting with Richard Acuña and what is the final decision of the Trujillo club

-Everything about Paolo still stands.

He was referring, of course, to what was later known in Lima, Trujillo and Rio. In Brazil Paolo Guerrero continues training. He still does not know when he will be able to come to Peru to play for the César Vallejo University, but he does not stop his physical work. In Trujillo they have the party ready, but they are waiting to define everything about the arrival of the Peruvian scorer, since with the signing of the contract they consider that there is a commitment on the part of the 9 of the Peruvian team to accept the challenge.

In fact, the Acuña patriarch, César, said in a media outlet a few days ago that “we are giving Paolo Guerrero an opportunity to continue being active. Were you looking for a team? There is the Cesar Vallejo University. It is our contribution to the Peruvian team.”

-The morning, before the meeting-

After the comments that emerged on Sunday from journalist Franco Lostaunau, from ESPN, about Paolo’s decision to seek to break his contract with the poet team due to personal issues – he recently became a father – yesterday there was a meeting between both parties. After that, those involved kept total secrecy due to the sensitivity of the issue. Until the closing of this edition, no official version has been known.

DT knows, yes, what the agenda was to deal with the team’s historic scorer. 1) How was your family situation? 2) What was the possibility of arriving in the capital this Wednesday. 3) How he felt about the club’s PF who traveled to Rio to work with him.

At that same time, noon on Monday, Deporte Total was able to find out the club’s position regarding Paolo’s possible refusal to join the team. In Trujillo they wait for him tomorrow. They have even arranged a direct flight from Sao Paulo to the Spring Capital and they are requesting all the permits from the corresponding authorities so that tomorrow (Wednesday) the Mansiche can be opened and the presentation can be held there. Otherwise, it would be done at the Acuña university headquarters.

-The meeting-

What would have been the position of the poets in the virtual meeting with Guerrero? As we previously reported, Vallejo trusts that Paolo will fulfill the contract signed on January 29. Yesterday, in conversations with people from the club they explained to us that, beyond the personal issue of the scorer, “there is no reason for him not to fulfill it.”

In Villa Poeta they argue that if Paolo took a long time, almost a week, to sign the bond, it is because he evaluated everything it means to arrive in Trujillo and what that would do to his environment.

Furthermore, in Vallejo they assure that Paolo will comply with what he signed because he continues working with the physical trainer that the club sent to work with him. Steve Brian Carril has been training with the footballer since the beginning of the month because the attacker has not been active since he was crowned champion of the Ecuadorian League with LDU on December 17. The work is done in double shifts, both with the ball and the physical subject.

How could this novel finally be resolved? Beyond the openness of the Acuña family to meet all the goalscorer’s requirements, there is also their demand: there is a signed document and within the plans is to wait a reasonable amount of time so that Paolo Guerrero and his family can be comfortable and dedicate themselves only to that which has made him immortal: playing football so well.
