University: Jean Ferrari says that Federico Alonso and Hernán Novick were not assaulted by 'creams' fans

This Wednesday there was a tense situation at the Campo Mar facilities. Fans of Universitario de Deportes approached the training place to talk with players after the defeat to Alianza Lima, but things got out of control and a aggression against Hernán Novick and Federico Alonso. Jean Ferrari, manager of the club, denied that outcome.

“There has been a crossing of strong words between fans and players in Campo Mar. But they weave stories that don't exist. I spoke promptly with Novick and Alonso, they told me that there was a strong exchange of words. I rule out physical aggressions,” Ferrari said in conversation with RPP.

“We reject acts of violence. I sensed that something similar could happen and that's why we put security. These situations sometimes happen, it is a matter of passion but it can be minimized with precautionary measures,” said the manager of the entity 'crema' about what happened at the sports complex in Lurín.

Finally, Jean expressed that he understands the annoyance of the fans after the hard defeat in the Peruvian classic. “You have to be empathetic to the feeling of the fan. The barristas had a reaction to what happened over the weekend, we agree with the dialogue with the fans.”

LEAGUE 1 AND SAFAP RELEASE

The football institutions pronounced themselves in a statement after learning about what happened with the University staff. It should be added that this is not the first time this has happened, as players from Sport Boys and Carlos Stein were also threatened with firearms as a result of poor results in the local championship.

League 1 and SAFAP lamented “the various manifestations of violence that have been taking place in training” of the first division teams. They also made an order to the clubs of the Peruvian tournament. “The safety of players and staff must be guaranteed for the normal conduct of their activities.”
