translated from Spanish: Felipe Flores: “I signed for Barnechea because prof. Jaime Pizarro was there”

National striker Felipe Flores handed over details of his arrival as a reinforcement to AC Barnechea club, the first B cast, noting that Jaime Pizarro’s presence as coach of the ‘huaicochero’ frame was key. The 34-year-old battering ram referred to the ‘Kaiser’, stating to The Latest News that “he was the first technician to take me to coach Colo Colo’s first team, when I was 14 years old or so. There were (Manuel) Neira, (Ivan) Zamorano, (Braulio) Leal and (Rodolfo) Madrid”. “We talked long before we signed, he insisted that he was strengthened and wants to go up. And that gave me enthusiasm. In training I saw good and interesting players. My teammates welcomed me amazingly. I am happy to be in Barnechea,” added the player who comes from defending Deportes Antofagasta.In addition, the one trained at Colo Colo revealed that “I had possibilities of both divisions and I thank the leaders who called me, but the decision happened because there was Prof. Jaime Pizarro, whom I know years ago and for me it is a pride to lead me. I have no regrets about the decision I made.” Finally, faced with his decision to leave the ‘puma’ store and return to Santiago, Flores noted that “my main preference was to play, since last year I almost always went to the bench and had two starting matches. I needed to feel the rhythm of the full matches, the 15 dates, and the teacher told me he was going to give me the confidence to play. Maybe I’m going to be close to my family, my son is only three months old and we’d already been in Antofagasta for three years. Here I also have some projects.”
