Hector Reynoso, vice-president of Deportivo Cafessa, revealed that the former footballer has approached to negotiate the attacker
Vice-President Deportivo Cafessa, Héctor Reynoso revealed that the help of former footballer Pavel Pardo was essential for Joao Maleck to have a second chance in his career, after being in prison for a year and a half.
“An image like Pavel Pardo is important, because it is not easy to face the whole media situation, acknowledging and knowing the damage that has been done. His accompaniment with Joao Maleck was important; we are close, but in the end he knows that this it’s a responsible situation and it’s going to have to be done in a good way, “he said in an interview with ESPN.
Reynoso acknowledged that the former American midfielder was the one who approached the Cafessa board of directors to start negotiations for Maleck’s arrival at the Premier League club.
“The negotiation was through Pavel Pardo, but we also had discussions with Santos Laguna -his former team-. I think they had every desire for Joao to reactivate himself in his career and we are a team that can help him. The contract we have is for six months and we hope to be able to meet the goal, for Joao to develop well both on and off the field. . It’s not optional, you have to do it that way. “
“Pavel Pardo’s approach with his professionalism and the demand he will have every day with Joao directly were not necessary. All contracts have certain clauses in which, if something fails, there may be a certain penalty. But here not there was any need for it (to put a clause in Maleck’s contract on his legal situation) “, he concluded.
