Recent revelations from players and former footballers about a possible match-fixing mafia for betting in Liga 1 even prompted the coach of the Peruvian team to Juan Reynoso, will comment on this. In the press conference he gave after announcing the call-ups for the next double qualifying round, the coach regretted that such a scourge could affect local football. He warned that preventative measures should be taken before the situation escalates to a level like that of the Bolivian league, which was eventually canceled after a similar scandal was uncovered.
“It is complete sadness and disappointment. It’s not that I’m accusatory, but sometimes the images are convincing. Sometimes you watch the games and ask yourself: ‘How can this situation happen?’. I hope they take action on this matter because it is.” “What happened in Bolivia is an important warning and in leagues like ours it can be repeated,” said the La Videna coach.
