‘He told me slave’
The attacker accused his colleague Alexander Mejía, from Union, of having made a racist expression towards him during the game.
According to Pérez, Mejía called him a slave: “Good evening, regarding what I saw on the pitch and why I came here to the press conference, it’s because I’m a little sad because Mejía calls me a slave, and That’s a word that we can’t use here in Colombia. The truth is I’m very sad, I told the teacher (Lucas González, coach of Águilas) to let me come to the press conference and this can’t stay like that,” he said Pérez, accompanied by his coach and with obvious discomfort.
The Águilas Doradas striker continued: “He told me in front of my teammates.”
