Arboleda aims dig at São Paulo: “It doesn't matter how good you are” | OneFootball

This Tuesday, the “soap opera” between Arboleda and São Paulo took a new turn. After statements from football director Rui Costa, who criticized the Ecuadorian center back’s attitude, the former Tricolor captain posted a veiled message about the situation on his social media.

“It doesn’t matter how good you are, if you’re in the wrong place, you’re worth nothing,” Arboleda posted.

In addition to that post, Arboleda also shared a Bible passage related to his situation with Tricolor: “Whoever conspires against you will fall before you.”

Arboleda’s post came shortly after São Paulo notified the center back last Monday. The club had given the defender a 24-hour deadline to explain his disappearance and regularize his situation.

Arboleda case

Arboleda was supposed to report at 12 p.m. (Brasília time) last Saturday at SuperCT for São Paulo’s pre-match training camp ahead of facing Cruzeiro, but he did not show up and was removed from the squad list for the Brazilian Championship match.

Internally, São Paulo heard that Arboleda had traveled to Ecuador in the early hours of the morning. The club, however, had no official confirmation of the player’s whereabouts, since it tried to contact him and received no response.

São Paulo also sought information from Arboleda’s representatives and family members. However, they also got no answer when trying to contact the player, who has now received an “ultimatum” to provide explanations to the club.
