Pedro Franco, player and reference of Fortaleza, spoke about what happened “Today with more calm after what happened yesterday I can only express as captain of Fortaleza this semester the immense pain we feel. Not for not having won our match, because this tranquility that we compete loyally and sportingly we cannot win it, that is part of the sport that we love and we must accept it with height ”.
“It should be said that we had also earned, in what we did in the home runs, the possibility that even without achieving a favorable result we would have the opportunity to ascend,” he added.
The man from Bogotá, referred to the specific event, which happened in Villavicencio “The most painful thing yesterday is to see how colleagues with aspirations, like all footballers, with dreams in their careers beyond this semester and representing their family, team , city and in general to football in our country, they lend themselves to conspire and promote a team that, through its sporting merit, had not been able to achieve a result that would lead to promotion ”.
