Reimond Mancoone of those called to be great promises of Peruvian football, confessed that he was able to return to play for the national team while defending the shirt of union in 2017, but a decision by the coach Ricardo Gareca frustrated his return and depressed him.

The 32-year-old had a very open interview with the YouTube show called Tiempo Muerto, in which he revealed many details about his sporting career, including the time when he was very close to defending the colors of the ‘bicolor’ after his experience with Sergio Markarián.

“I broke it in Commerce in 2017. A date before they sent me a vest, a GPS, I didn’t want to wear it because it really bothers me, so I told them ‘I’m not going not wear it’ , but they had a mandate from the Federation. Me, Mimbela and the ‘chengue’ Morales,” he began.

“After that, they send an observer to the match with Huancayo, then the team manager tells me, he tells me ‘they came, the Federation sent to see you’. Match with Huancayo in Moyobamba, I scored two goals and two assists, and I said ‘that’s it’”, he continued.

“The team had two practice games in the United States, the team led by Gareca, I said here, I said ‘this is the team, I will go back to Alianza, break it and restart.’ The team list comes out I won’t say the name but they called a boy from the ‘U’ who never played I got depressed it’s not possible I could have scored 10 goals, but they weren’t going to call me,” he added.

“Of course (the press spoke about his appeal), because he had broken it. If you realize in almost every game MVP came out and that game they went to see I decoked it, figure of the game, two goals, two assists. The call goes out, they call a boy from ‘U’ who didn’t start. There you are depressed, but it does not affect the ego, ”he concluded.

Who did Gareca summon? The Argentinian strategist did not call Reimond Manco and instead preferred to consider Roberto Siucho, who was 21 and alternated at the University of Sports. Probably the ‘Tiger’ You made this decision based on the features. And it is that among the qualities of ‘Rey’ The physique does not stand out, on the other hand, the youth team ‘cream‘ I was more used to touring.

He ‘reality boy’ He was the figure of the U-17 squad during the South American tournament in Ecuador which ended with Peru qualifying for the World Cup. Moreover, the midfielder won the best player of the tournament award ahead of Colombian James Rodríguez.

Later, he was called up to the absolute squad by the Uruguayan Sergio Markarian. His first was made in a friendly match with Bolivia in La Paz. Unfortunately, the talented footballer couldn’t make his debut in the South American Qualifiers, he only alternated in five warm-up matches.
