King Kong had already denounced the fact and now went deeper with a practical example in which he explains in greater depth the implications of this kind of scam.

In Sports in Agriculture, the journalist stated that “You are the owner of a team… Deportes Pudahuel. You win the Third A championship and are promoted to Second Professional. The first thing you have to do is present a guarantee slip to be able to play. Second, establishing yourself as a sports corporation, you are no longer a neighborhood social club.”

Dracula? Guarello explains how they suck the blood of the most humble clubs in Chile

“Ya… Juan Gallegos. I was in Audax for three years, I played in Palestino and at 16 they told me not to continue, then I played in Tercera B. Rodrigo Salinas: I was at Cobresal for five years and at 18 they told me I wasn’t going to continue because I was a goalkeeper and didn’t have the height. And you are putting together. The Vial just descends and you bring three players,” he complements.

Guarello explains the new formula to suck the blood of the most humble teams in Chilean soccer.

Guarello adds: “and suddenly, for example, Audax appears and tells you: hey, but we trained that goat you hired. How long did we have it at Audax? Four. At 30 thousand dollars a year, you owe us 120 thousand dollars. That’s how simple and basic the issue is. You answer: but how… that kid was thrown away, you let him go when he was 16 years old. Oh, I don’t know anything. It’s 120 thousand dollars! “.

But the complications do not end there: “there is one step left: where can we see this? In the ANFP Patrimonial Affairs Court, which is very kind to large teams. Now… Audax puts the demand on you. And to defend yourself as Deportes Pudahuel you have to pay 4 million pesos, so that the court can hear your case,” he explains.

“If you don’t pay these 100 UF, the court automatically rules one hundred percent against you and forces you to pay the 120 million. If you pay the 100 UF, the court says: no, 120 million is a lot, charge him 60,” reveals King Kong.
