Andrés Ibargüen he broke the silence and referred to his turbulent departure from Club America, Which he said was given under a hostile environment, because it is he came to nod cowardly and threatened in the sporty aspect, mainly because the azulcremas wanted to get rid of it.
The Colombian even detailed how he was being relegated from the team, to the point of not being considered by the coaching staff, although he finally lives another reality today after leaving Coapa and sign with Santos Laguna.
“I start the starting semester after the GNP Cup, I manage to stabilize at eleven, unfortunately an injury occurs and after the injury I get infected with Covid. There was an approach that was first the economic one where we hadn’t agreed“Then they say there is a possibility of a start, before they had suddenly told me, I would have known, because I also saw that it was not going to be the only proposal but already in the middle of the tournament it is difficult,” he said in an interview with Fox Sports.

“After the injury I started having minutes from the bench. Then with the decision they would relatively not put me on if I didn’t do what they said, I said ‘no, it’s not what the club says anything else, I have something signed, they can’t scare me with that either’. There was a talk at which no agreement was reached. There were things that if I didn’t leave, I would be left without playing as I had already done with some teammates. I told them with relative respect: ‘you can decide, I will always prepare well, if you put me on, I will have peace of mind’, ”he explained.
Not even with the departure of the Poll did the situation change
Ibargüen has indicated that at the time he came to think that his situation could change with the departure of Miguel Herrera and the arrival of Santiago Solari, Although in the end this did not happen and remained marginalized.
“It started because they paid less attention to me, then it was something that suddenly if I wasn’t athletic, it was extra-sporty. Maybe I kept preparing, the time had come for me to prepare when I realized that nor was Miguel (Herrera) going to be in. I said ‘well, a new coach is coming, suddenly maybe working he can have a chance’. I’m in the first game and then I see how you disappear overnight“He finished.
