translated from Spanish: [VIRAL] Vecchio confessed that he “played backwards” in Colo Colo’s match with the EU to prevent UC from winning in 2013

During an interview conducted on ESPN, argentine player Emiliano Vecchio confessed to a questionable performance during a crucial match in the framework of the 2013 championship, a situation that has generated a series of repercussions on social networks. Former Colo Colo player and current member of Rosario Central admitted that he “played backwards” during the last date of that tournament, when the Cacique was facing the Spanish Union. It should be remembered that at that time both the Hispanics and the UC, which faced San Marcos de Arica, had options to obtain the championship, so the result of both meetings was absolutely transcendental. The story is already known, the table of the strip obtained the three points against San Marcos, but as the Spanish Union had a slight advantage and also won in their match against Colo Colo, it was the Hispanics who were finally crowned champions. And today Vecchio’s statements ended up confirming the suspicions of many Crusader fans and other spectators of that definition, who foresoyed an act at least “dismissive” on the part of the player at the time. Vecchio pointed out that “I lose the final with Unión to penalties, they sell me to Colo Colo and in the other semester last date Colo Colo against Unión Española. If Union beat us, it was champion. If we won, the champion was our classic rival,” Vecchio said. “Because of the love I have for Unión Española and because it was our classic rival, I wasn’t going to score a goal.” Words that brought out hives in San Carlos de Apoquindo, opening an old wound that still does not heal. Here is the registration with the player’s statements:
