-After the dissemination in the media with Paolo Guerrero, César Vallejo’s lawyer, Ernesto Andree Pesantes, has he communicated with you through a telephone call?

Nothing, no call, I haven’t received anything. I have his number on file and on Wednesday I received many calls from numbers that I don’t have on record and I couldn’t answer all of them, but if it’s him, he didn’t contact me.

-Richard Acuña commented that he did not receive any resignation letter from Paolo Guerrero, did they send it?

He received it in the afternoon, I think we sent it to him after he went out to speak at RPP. This document is in your email.

-In that document it indicates that César Vallejo has 72 hours to release Paolo Guerrero.

That’s right, they have 72 hours counting from Friday forward, but so far nothing.

-When do you think all this will end, because you point out that you haven’t had any communication with Richard since?

Communication has been cut off, even though we were on very good terms. Last Wednesday I managed to speak for a few minutes to tell him about the issue of extortion, I have written to him and left messages saying: “Richard, let’s close this issue once and for all”, I said this, because we had left it pending a little more than 24 hours before . We were already practically with the separation agreement closed with all the terms closed, Richard, Paolo and I. It’s not even that he had discussed it with me, the three of us were together and we had an agreement, but suddenly he said: “give me half an hour, I need to make a consultation and that half hour was extended until now.” When we decided something, he was indifferent because we received the letter on (Wednesday) night. There is an error there because one can deny even the statements, but when he says that he did not receive the messages… I have the images of the chats and that affects good faith, since one says that they are not acting in good faith, Everything breaks and it gets more difficult.

-When they had reached an agreement with Richard, Paolo Guerrero had to pay compensation, because there were talks of exorbitant amounts.

There is no compensation in the contract. Paolo was going to assume the expenses they had incurred, an issue related to the house, the trip the coach had made there, just those expenses. As I told you, the separation was almost closed, but Richard gave in.

-So Paolo should not pay compensation to César Vallejo in case of separation?

Yes, of course, that doesn’t exist. This is not contemplated in the contract nor did Richard Acuña and César Vallejo’s people demand any of this.

-Are Vallejo afraid that Paolo Guerrero will accept an offer from Alianza Lima?

The problem that arises here is that all this is happening just a few days after finishing the pass book. Furthermore, it is forbidden to do anything as long as the link is not severed. As soon as the link is cut, Paolo has to see what options he has to be able to work and continue with his career. People believe that because it is Paolo, agreements with new teams are closed quickly and it is not that easy. Most will tell you: “I would love to have Paolo, but I no longer have space.” That is a great difficulty, so the longer it takes to reach an agreement, the more it will be a great difficulty. Now, where it does not occupy space is here, in Peru, it does not have that disadvantage. Naturally just by probability analysis, Peru ends up being a viable option for me to work with. All serious clubs know that if they start conversations with Paolo right now they will get into a legal mess, we don’t know what will happen, but Paolo did not talk to Alianza, Alianza did not call Paolo and before this, Paolo had options in Peru and Brazil Now times are short, and he cannot afford to discard any offer, so if Guerrero does not close a contract now he will retire from football.

-Paolo Guerrero abandons the agreement with César Vallejo due to threats to his mother and family, despite the fact that he previously played in dangerous cities like Quito and Rio de Janeiro, but it is unfortunate that in Trujillo, crime decides who works there and under its control. conditions.

There comes the problem, because in the end César Vallejo does not release Paolo, just as he is acting in parallel to what the criminals are doing, because by delaying they make Paolo Guerrero leave football.

-When do you think this will end?

The idea of ​​the letter is for you to answer it and say if you are going to release him within the 30-day period. It’s what we’re waiting for. We don’t know if he will respond, the coherent thing would be to release him and then define what happens. If Paolo went to a club that Richard doesn’t like and he believes that he affected him, he has every right to complain and report. The same thing happens if he believes that there are some costs that must be assumed and there we will legally discuss what happens, but the player’s right to play has already been safeguarded.

-They are open to a meeting with Richard and if he tells them that everything is already resolved, there is no turning back for Paolo Guerrero to arrive in Trujillo.

It is not that the problem is not the security of the city, the problem is the threats that Paolo receives and have increased his level of certainty. That is the point. It has already been decided and there is no going back. When the issue of insecurity began, I spoke a lot about that issue to Richard Acuña about that negative impact as an impact for Trujillo and that is why we ended up talking with some ministers and he even gave us telephone numbers, which is why on Thursday trust was broken, now that he denies that he has knowledge and leaves us saying: what happened? Worse when he knows that there are the chats and contacts that he passed on to us, but anyway, he misses us.

-Do the threats continue?

The complaints are already formal and the Police have been aware of them for a long time, but I understand that in recent days they have intensified their work.

-What is your opinion of Richard Acuña?

The truth is that I don’t understand how Richard’s head works at this moment, because we were managing everything well, he had already gotten upset, because it is obvious that he knows that this has to end, since he had put so much effort into the negotiation that I was a participant, where he was flexible and very friendly, of course he has to be upset, but he was upset and the wills came together and he was ready for the agreement and since everything changed, what happened? Honestly, I don’t understand, even more so when his father has expressed herself in one way and he is acting in another way. But I hope that in the next few hours he will reflect and agree. Likewise, that he reserve his rights to claim, if he believes that he has it, but that he release Paolo Guerrero. I hope so.

-Can Vallejo harm Paolo Guerrero’s career more?

This is in the Competition and Dispute Resolution Chamber of the FPF. If Richard believes that he has something to claim, he is completely free to do so, that cannot be denied to him, but he must leave him free. Then, we will see if he is right, that will be seen through legal means. Today he should release Paolo, wish him release so that he finds a team soon so that Peruvian soccer does not lose him.

-Exactly, why with the lack of ‘9’ we can’t afford to have Paolo Guerrero decide to retire?

Yes that’s how it is.
