The directors of the documentary “Dark Blue” indicated that at least one player spoke about the threats to their families over the team’s results.
Carlos Carrera, director of Father Amaro’s Crime, and Carlos Bátiz, filmmaker, revealed ESPN Digital, what during the filming of the documentary “Blau Fosc”, Blue Cross players confessed that their families have received death threats, For the poor results of the team.
“There’s a player who tells us, ‘you don’t know the shame it gives us to go out when we lose, my children have been threatened with death‘. It would be good for people to know the human aspect, it really contrasts with what we saw on the track, “he commented ESPN Digital, Carlos Bátiz, co-director of the documentary “Blau Fosc”.
In the documentary, there have been talks with players and coaches of the current squad, as well as former footballers who went through the Blue Cross. The theme of the team will be addressed in five chapters, from “its foundation to the era of ‘already merit'”, adds director Carlos Carrera.
“There’s a player who said, ‘I trained here, I come from Laguna, Oaxaca, I trained here, I come from here, I went up to the second team, first team, you think I have a face for to get to this place, where I trained, where I have always been treated well, with the stain I supposedly sold myself ‘, is impossible. “
In interviews with film directors, they say that “there is no former player or player who speaks ill of Billy Alvarez,” the former president of the Blue Cross who was singled out for operations with money of illicit origin and has an arrest warrant against him.
“Yes, we have found outrageous things, such as the overselling of players, of players who were bought and not used, who were sold at a lower price than what was bought,” says Carlos Bátiz.
“The roll of not pushing the basic forces, rather than being negligent, seems to be on purpose, because then by not having people to cover the needs of the team, they buy players and in the end that’s a business. The season ended last, it ended very badly, semi-final, and they want to clean up the team, but there is another business, it seems that everything responds to a business rather than a sporting goal “, acknowledges the director.
