Andrés Sanchez, president of Corinthians during negotiations with Benfica for the transfer of Pedrinho, recalled the friction with the former leader of the reds, Luís Filipe Vieira.
“I was wrong? I’m here, he’s stuck. I already had problems with him when selling Elias. He treated me badly, despised Corinthians. I was there with Jorge Mendes and there was this friction», he recalled in an interview with Inteligência Ltda.
He added: “We sold Pedrinho for 20 million and then we had to buy Yony (González) for three million, after six games. He played four games, then the pandemic came… what did we do? He got crazy, I got crazy and that fight came. Then we agreed to pay 18 million euros. Truth be told: there was no late payment.”
Vieira’s attitude did not please the former leader of Timão: «A European is already a European, imagine the Portuguese. I’m talking about football. They think they are superior, but Benfica is a “good guy” next to many Brazilian clubs. And he thought he was the president of Barcelona or Real Madrid.»
