Colo Colo’s Esteban Pavez Defends Damián Pizarro: A Rising Star Silencing the Media’s Fabrications
In a recent match, Colo Colo secured a 3-0 victory over Unión La Calera, with Damián Pizarro emerging as the star of the show, scoring a brace. The young striker’s performance has not only helped Colo Colo regain ground in the National Championship but has also sparked a strong reaction from his teammate and captain, Esteban Pavez.
Pavez’s Unwavering Support for Pizarro
In a post-match interview, Pavez expressed his delight at Pizarro’s goal-scoring exploits, stating, Personally, I’m very happy that Damián has managed to score, as this year he hadn’t had the chance to do so. However, the veteran midfielder did not stop there; he went on to launch a scathing attack on the media, accusing them of fabricating stories about Pizarro.
Slamming the Media’s Unfounded Rumors
Pavez said, This year, the media also invented things, about why they weren’t putting him [Pizarro] in and those kinds of things that, to be honest, upset me a bit, because they invent things, I’ve always said that they should ask me. He further elaborated, There were rumors that he hadn’t come to training, that he had arrived late, things that were never true. As I’ve always told them: if you want to ask me something, ask me directly. I don’t like it when they invent things, especially with homegrown players.
Highlighting Pizarro’s Potential
Pavez went on to praise Pizarro’s talent, stating that the young striker is sold to Italy and will be a national team player. He acknowledged that the media’s fabrications may have affected Pizarro’s performance, saying, I don’t know if [the inventions] will affect his performance, but obviously it affects [Damián Pizarro]. Nowadays, I think what you [the media] say is very important to people, social media is very savage, and we know that it affects the younger ones the most.
A Call for Positivity and Support
In conclusion, Pavez expressed his hope that the media would refrain from spreading more rumors and instead focus on the positive aspects of Pizarro’s performance, stating, I hope they don’t invent more things and today we have to see the positive, that he scored two goals, and from here on, he doesn’t stop and becomes an asset until he goes to Italy.
Conclusion
Esteban Pavez’s unwavering support for his young teammate Damián Pizarro serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of nurturing and protecting promising talents in the world of football. By calling out the media’s unfounded rumors and highlighting Pizarro’s potential, Pavez has not only defended his teammate but also set an example of the kind of leadership and mentorship that can help young players thrive in the face of adversity.
