Dest went further to articulate his reasons for opposing the relocation of the Copa América to the United States. “In my opinion, tradition is the most important, above money and everything, so I am a bit disappointed that it’s not in one of those South American nations. That’s where it started, and that’s where it should be.”
The sharp criticism concluded with an interesting analogy. “It’s like playing the Eurocup in Africa. It doesn’t make sense to me. But nowadays, everything is about money.”
In His Prime: Sergiño Dest has regained his peak footballing form in the current season. On loan from Barcelona to PSV, the player has become a key figure in the Dutch team’s excellent run.
