The race of Reimond Manco It includes episodes of all kinds, also a discreet passage through Qatari Al-Wakrah, where he was without playing in an unusual way, receiving a good salary for running on the edge of the field.

“Soccer has become a lot of business, they look at the players as an object,” the former ‘Jotita’ began in dialogue with Jesús Alzamora for the program ‘La Lengua’, broadcast on YouTube.

“A coach who was an assistant at PSV when I played there took me to Qatar. He asks me, they buy me and I go. I signed for four years and had to return in June (2012). When I arrived they had removed the coach who took me. The new one arrived and told me: ‘There is a quota of foreigners, but I’ve seen your videos and I like how you play. Talk to my manager. ‘ 60-40 they told me. I said I’m not going to give him a dollar and they made me jog outside for almost a whole year, ”Manco recalled.

“It was the best year of my life personally, but not soccer. I was getting bored again, “added the former Alianza Lima player.

In Peru there is more than one technician with similar habits, assured Reimond Manco. “There is a lot. There are mediators who have more money than footballers with more than 10 years of profession. In Peruvian soccer there are more mercenaries than anything else. It’s something that makes football dirty ”, he commented.
