An industry of purslane fans was excited to see the former captain back in the fields. But Berríos made it clear.
“This preseason, as always, I joined because the teacher gives me the opportunity to share and there was talk that there was a possibility that I would return because they looked at me physically. As a player, as a human being, that desire comes inside because soccer is my passion I said it my decisions are clear it’s an issue I took to analyze with my family they were happy to have me back but you have to analyze all aspects not just make a decision of emotion to see me on the field or to wear my shirt again The decision was that I was fine as I was, I enjoyed this time of my retirement, my life has changed for the better, ”he said Sport Panorama
Something that the 38-year-old ex-footballer made clear is that the economic issue did not affect his decision to stay away from the changes.
“We didn’t get to that point. The important thing was to feel good. Being good physically opened the doors for me because I’ve tried to keep myself safe for my health, but football is different because of the pace. People will come. And comment. give on things. The reason that decides not to go ahead is because it’s about results and performance, “he added.
Fear of not giving up? “No. I felt good, they can talk about it with colleagues and the teacher. I train 100% as always, I appreciated my time as a player. I remember some words from Luis Guifarro telling me that I need football. But I have felt good outside of football and there has been a positive change in my life, ”he said.
Berríos shared part of the conversation he had with Vargas after confirming that he would not be part of the Clausura 2021 team. In addition, he said he will support the team in a different way.
“It was nice to see that affection, some wrote to me that they were happy that I would return. I tell them that this dedication to Marathon and the desire to help them grow. As I told the teacher Vargas, I thanked him for the opportunity, but I was going to try and work together in a different way, be close to the club, the players for some advice and to make them realize where they are, ”he concluded.
