Time passed and "picón" went down.
But the story of pineapples between
Carlos Zambrano
and
Darío Benedetto
remained and is fed as a myth.
The picón is how in
Peru
they call the "fever" of the moment, the one that the defender felt at halftime in Racing - Boca when a heated discussion ended in blows.
"If I have to lose, I lose. But I'm going to the front," Zambrano began his story, as a guest of a shipment from the Peruvian news portal,
Trome
.
In an interview, he spent a long time telling what happened in the Cylinder.
"Racing was giving us a barbaric dance in the first half. The detail was that he
had been raising his hands a lot in the field
, recriminating. And you can bitch in the dressing room and nothing happens, it's like that. We are a team, you bitch and you don't go to the hands. But he was making the gestures for the cameras, in front of all the people", he contextualized.
"The first part ends and he begins to do the same as always with his hands, pointing to the defense, this, that other. He
made a mistake and he admitted it
. In the inflatable tunnel we already started bitching and we told each other everything On the ladder to get to the dressing room, he went ahead, turned around and hit me," he admitted.
"My reaction was to go forward: they give you a blow and the reaction is to go forward with your fists. All the comrades were there and the security grabbed us, I was angry... Most of the comrades said that I should
go Hit him, the rest didn't like him very much, because of his way of being
. I had no problem, it was the reaction at that moment, "he distinguished.
"We entered the dressing room, there were leaders, the coach... a small dressing room and I looked at it all the time, being aware that there could be no more problems there: the virgin was there, she was not going to catch me again. I said 'I lost
' , but it was boiling.
I go to the mirror, I see myself, it was red and it was swelling and I thought: this is not like that, this is going to swell more," he recalled.

"I told myself 'I'm going to wait a moment before going out' and I went to urinate calmly and (Benedetto) approaches me almost in tears: '
excuse me, I was wrong'
, he tells me. At that moment many things crossed my mind: being treacherous like him and put one just like him, I wanted to do that. But I said 'that's it, that's it'. It was hot, but we already had to go out and play the second half", he summed up, but the thing did not end there.
"We arrived at the hotel and some colleagues told me: now go look for him. The days went by, I was calm, the moment of unreason had already gone. In training, nothing. In the team I was like a gentleman, because I did not react It was: "good morning Carlos" and that's it. Dario was wrong, but I still have nothing against him. He's not my friend outside, but on the field we were teammates and if I had to fight for him, I was going to fight ", he summed up, like a
gentleman
.
