Juan 'Chiquito' Flores and his terrible 'blooper' in the 7 Football Super League that ended in a defining goal

Juan 'Chiquito' Flores is quite a character. In his good years he had a high performance that led him to defend the shirt of the Peruvian national team. However, since his retirement as a professional in 2016, he has dedicated himself to playing in amateur football. On this occasion, he committed an incredible 'blooper' playing in the Super League of Football 7 for the Cultural Club Deportivo Gemini that ended in his team's last-minute defeat to Purito Pando.

To get into context, the former footballer in his last years committed some bloopers that cost him several goals against his team. Therefore, this time, the play recalled, not only reminded the fans of Peruvian football at that time, but also of the play that Gianluigi Donnarumma made with Karim Benzema, in PSG's defeat and elimination against Real Madrid in the knockout stages of the Champions League. It was an almost traced action, although that of the Italian goalkeeper was in the left sector, that of Flores happened on the right side.

The Peruvian team drew against Purito Pando for 4-4, with just a few minutes left before the end of this disputed match. However, by trying to avoid a corner kick against him, Juan swept away and achieved his goal. Although then a player from the rival team arrived and the former professional goalkeeper picked the ball looking for the foul, but this did not happen and a play was made against him that ended in a goal for the San Miguel squad. In the same style as Donnarumma, it could be said that it was a foul in favor of 'Chiquito', but the referee let it continue. This caused his team to lose 5-4 in a match that was played within the decisive stages of the tournament played at the Aldo Chamochumbi Coliseum in Magdalena.

It should be noted that in this team that belongs to the Comas district and is led by Orlando Obando, it also has in its ranks another former player who had a long career in Peruvian football. This is Masakatsu Sawa, who retired from the professional stage at the beginning of 2021 with the shirt of Deportivo Municipal, a club he defended for 6 seasons.

OTHER 'BLOOPERS'

As stated earlier, this is not the first time that Juan 'Chiquito' Flores has made these kinds of mistakes. In 2013, when he was wearing the Unión Comercio jersey, he played a match against Sporting Cristal at the Alberto Gallardo stadium. On that occasion, in one action he sought to make time and made a maneuver with his right leg, but when he wanted to grab the ball, Irven Ávila was faster and quickly took the ball away. This play ended in the goal of 'Cholito', who defined pleasure with the empty goal. He also had another one when he played for León de Huánuco and with Juan Aurich in Chiclayo.
