David Faitelson was in charge of interviewing one of the most talented players in the history of Mexico and he had no qualms about praising La Volpe for his knowledge and for how good a coach he is, but he made a distinction between his talent on the bench and his way of being .
“He does not have a good relationship with soccer players, he makes me a very enlarged, which says that he is God. I remember when he told me, ‘ put La Volpe es Dios in a little notebook a hundred times ‘”, he pointed out. in reference to the time they shared in America.
Ricardo La Volpe’s stage in América was short-lived, but enough for Cuauhtémoc Blanco to notice first-hand what the Argentine strategist’s relationship with his team was like. Not easy.
The statements are brought up after the words of La Volpe, who left Cuauhtémoc out of the Cup del Mundo 2006, being one of the most criticized and controversial decisions of the time in Mexican soccer.
A rivalry that will be remembered.
