Luis Advíncula spoke about his relationship with Riquelme
Advíncula admitted that it was “complicated” to get in touch with Juan Román: “It is a relationship of mutual respect. He is one of the few men who inhibits me. Talking to him is very complicated. (…) He treated me very well from the first minute. Before he arrived, he spoke to me respectfully because I played in the promotion final and said to me: “Don't worry, we'll talk after the final.” That's why I'm very happy there,” he commented on the YouTube program “La Lengua” .
