Since Jarlan Barrera’s departure from Junior de Barranquilla for Rosario Central, and later, to Atlético Nacional, more than remembering his beginnings in football with a team that gave him the opportunity to grow as a footballer, Jarlan was in charge of building a poisonous relationship against the Barranquilla team.
The fans of Junior de Barranquilla have also exchanged words against the Atlético Nacional midfielder, as they do not forget the maximum penalty in extra time against Athletico de Paranaense in the 2018 South American Cup final. If he had scored, maybe they would not have had to define from the spot and could have given the title to the Atlantic team.
They do not forgive him, and from that moment on, a fire was lit that no one can put out between the Barranquilleros and the samarium midfielder. In August, Jarlan Barrera maintained that he always wanted to play for Atlético Nacional, and a compelling reason was that in Junior they only cried when they lost finals, while in the Antioquia institution the titles were celebrated and the crying was of joy and not of disappointment.
The curious thing is that Jarlan Barrera managed to win three titles as a player for Junior de Barranquilla. And now, the words returned it to the samarium, which, driven by the fury of becoming champion with Nacional last semester, ruled that tears were different in the green club. Fate took care of returning Jarlan’s message.
After those poisonous testimonies from Jarlan Barrera, Atlético Nacional could not qualify for the final home runs in the second half. A missed penalty by Jefferson Duque brought Junior into the fight and the elimination of the Paisas. This was the best time for the Atlantic team to jump against samarium.
The right moment that Luis Ernesto Grau took center stage, one of the technical assistants, and a great ally for Julio Avelino Comesaña in each cycle of the Uruguayan in the Junior of Barranquilla. Grau used his social networks to further light the flame against Jarlan Barrera. On Twitter, he recalled the testimonies of the crying and after the elimination, he wrote, “it’s your turn to keep crying son…”. Without labeling the person involved, it was more than obvious who the message was for.
It’s your turn to keep crying son….
