Peruvian football is greatly nourished by the history of the clubs and in that sense the journalist Mr. Peet made his position clear regarding the “greatest” of national football, even left a controversial opinion where he considers Sport Boys among the top. Let us remember that this is a topic that is up for debate for all football fans.
In an interview with the media Pase Filtrado, journalist Mr. Peet was asked if Melgar is the fourth great in Peruvian soccer, but the host of “A Presión” indicated that he did not agree and argued some reasons where he mentioned Sport Boys, the team of the first port in the country:
“Suddenly they are going to tell me that I am not objective, I have nothing against anyone. In the place you place him, fourth, fifth or third perhaps. Boys is great no matter how you look at him, let him go through a bad time It doesn’t take away his greatness.”the 54-year-old sports reporter began by pointing out.
However, Peter Arévalo once again placed Sport Boys in the top three to leave no doubt, in football terms “he left it itching” with his statements: “I don’t know if he is fourth or third, or if he is fifth, but Boys is great, we are talking about the first national champion. We are talking about his integrity, in his entirety he represented Peru in the 1936 Olympic Games.”
In turn, Mr. Peet told part of the story of one of the Sport Boys titles: “We are talking about a team that, in order to travel in its entirety to the 1936 Olympic Games, and I am not going to bore you with the story, was subjected to the authorities of the time who said “Ok, Boys has become champion, but suddenly it was coincidence, let’s have him face a combined Alliance – “U” to see if they are brave. Boys won 2 and tied 1. In other words, Boys has been great since its appearance.”
