Overview
- Christian Cueva said Renato Tapia's recent statements were made out of time and showed disrespect toward Peru teammates, referencing Tapia's post that read, "Dime dónde trabajas y te diré quién eres."
- In the same Teledeportes interview, Cueva called his own national-team omission an extrafootball decision that he does not share.
- Cueva previously posted, "R... siempre fuiste malo jajajaja," a message widely interpreted on social media as aimed at Tapia.
- Addressing his legal dispute with Pamela López, Cueva said he will assume what he must while his lawyers contest parts of the 64,000-soles child-support claim and manage ongoing proceedings.
- Now officially presented at Juan Pablo II during the club's Tarde Amarilla, Cueva is slated to open the Torneo Apertura at home on January 31 against FC Cajamarca.
