“The South American jewel”, that's how Piero Quispe from Pumas UNAM from Mexico was introduced as a brand new reinforcement. The young footballer then published an emotional farewell letter to the Cream fan on his social networks. “I have a lot of mixed emotions because I have to say goodbye to my beloved club and that is not an easy thing. Universitario de Deportes is my home, it is my life, the club that I love and will always love. “I had a dream as a child and I fulfilled it: to become national champion with the 'U',” can be read at the beginning of the message published on their social networks.
“I'm taking a big step in my career, I have to play abroad for the first time, at a big club with a lot of history. “I have many dreams and goals to fulfill, but this first step would not have been possible without the 'U', without my teammates and their fans,” he said.
Finally, he concluded his letter with a sentence that represents the student institution. “I love you, the crowning glory of my life, and don’t forget how great there is only one. And give it “U” forever, they will listen!” However, this was overshadowed hours later by a statement from the Cream team in which it described the presentation of the national flyer as “not very serious” and assured that the relevant legal Documentation is not complete. This met with a quick response from the Mexican team.
