Are there dressing room problems in Cali? Pinto exploded: ‘It disgusts me’

The coach of the sugar club gave his face to rumors of crosses with Mera in the dressing room.

Jorge Luis Pinto will have a special challenge this Sunday, when he visits his former team, Millonarios, with Deportivo Cali for the 2023 Betplay 1 League.

His team is in clear improvement, despite the last defeat against Pereira, which left many fans of the ‘sugar’ club uncomfortable, worried about the pressure of relegation next year.

This disagreement has led to rumors in Cali that the veteran DT will have very marked differences with some players, specifically with Germán Mera, with whom, it was said, he would have had a friction in the dressing room.

That’s true? “Whoever says that is a first-class liar. They no longer find how to find problems for Pinto. What a barbaric journalism, I’m amazed! Talk to the players if you want. That’s what makes me sick and I don’t eat it. What a shame!” said Pinto in a conversation with the newspaper El País.

“Whoever knows a specific fact, who says it on the air, I challenge him to do it. That is journalism that I can’t stand, inventing stories so that they can be heard and read. I have no problem with that, because I don’t care. I owe no favors to any journalist. It disgusts me, at this hour of my life, to be fighting with lying and false journalists, the kind that make up news, like I got into a fight with a player in the dressing room. That’s what I care most about I feared before returning to Cali, what you call the bochinche,” he added, visibly annoyed.

The DT assured that there is no problem with his leaders and that the results will prove it: “I don’t have to clarify it, but the dishonesty and cheating of journalists makes me sick. Tell the country that I say that, they don’t have to talk and invent news”, he concluded.
