Ricardo Gareca opened up in a radio interview with
Matías Martin
and spoke for the first time about a little-known story about his family.
"It is a particular story, it is the first time I tell it," announced the coach of the Peru National Team.
"You have a daughter present in networks ...", Martin began by telling her with complicity in the
Todo Pasa
cycle
, which runs on
FM 104.3 Urbana Play
.
The journalist's comment had to do with the fact that Fiorella (that's her name) made the news last year because she dedicated a meme to referee Julio Bascuñán after his controversial performance in Brazil's 4-2 victory over Peru in Lima.
"I understand that you have a particular history with her," said the driver.
"It is a particular story, it is the first time I tell it. It was in 2013, when 30 years had already passed ... it was something incredible. And it happened in a barbarous professional moment of mine in every aspect, out of nowhere it appears a daughter, "began the Tiger.
The arrival of
Fiorella
to Ricardo's life was thanks to Milton, another of the sons of the former Boca and River forward. "It was a contact between her and my eldest son, Milton, through the networks. They hit it off, talked and came to the conclusion that I was probably his father, she told him. From there the whole story was born and it turned out to be that I was the father, and I had no knowledge of anything. He spent a whole life, I with grandchildren ... ", Gareca said.
In his testimony, El Tigre dedicated special thanks to his family, who knew how to understand what DT was going through in those days of revelations. "
It was hard, it was a hard stage of my life
, complicated, in which I had the understanding of my wife, to whom I am eternally grateful. She took me through very complicated, very difficult moments. I needed to go abroad, it was there that I was in Palmeiras. It did not go well for me but I was not well enough to make decisions. But I needed to work and I went abroad, "Gareca recalled of those months that had him leaving the Vélez bank to try his luck at Verdão.
"It was a strong story but today we are family, it is fully incorporated, integrated. It was meeting another person, an adult, and integrating it quickly. I had the support of my family, my wife and my children," said Ricardo, who completes his trio of heirs with Robertino.
And he added, always in his intimate talk with Matías Martin: "It is an eternal gratitude that I have to my whole family. It is part of the things that sometimes happen to us."

DT appreciated the way his loved ones helped him when Fiorella appeared in their lives.
"It was before I got married, when I was in Boca. You touched on the subject, but I'm not going to talk to anyone anymore. I don't want to make a novel about this ... I dedicate myself to soccer, I don't talk about my private life but this is part of my life too ", finished saying the Tiger, with his now famous sincere and calm tone.
