The Peruvian club Cesar Vallejo denounced that three of its football players were subjected to threats of extortion to manipulate the result of the match they will play on Friday against Unión Comercio, a team that threatens its permanence in League 1 of Peru. In a statement shared on his social networks, Vallejo strongly condemns this situation and indicates that he continues to report the events to the National Police, and inform the integrity and ethics area of the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF) to ” taking the necessary actions.”
Also, the club from the northern city of Trujillo said it guarantees that the “safety and well-being” of its players is the “top priority.” However, he emphasized that they will not be intimidated by these actions and on match day they will leave “with the determination to win” because Trujillo deserves to have “first-class soccer.” In addition, he thanked his fans for their support and assured them that they will continue to work to achieve success in sports.
On Friday, Vallejo will play a match against Unión Comercio for the tenth round of the Clausura tournament, where his rival is at the bottom and has the possibility of relegation to the second division, like UTC and Carlos Manucci. For its part, Vallejo is just one goal ahead of UTC, which it equals on points, and its permanence in the first division next year is also uncertain.
