Damián and Julio Acosta Viana, sons of Nelson Acosta, released a public statement to clarify the health status of the coach and once again distanced themselves from their sister, Silvana, with whom they are involved in a legal dispute over the management of the former national team coach's assets. The coach was admitted to the Isamédica clinic in Rancagua on Saturday. In this context, his sons sent a reassuring message. "In response to the inquiries and expressions of affection we have received regarding our father, we want to sincerely thank each and every one of you for your concern and affection," they begin. They then describe what happened: "During the night of Saturday, May 9th, and at the recommendation of the treating medical team, it was decided to transfer our father to a medical facility in order to evaluate recent tests and perform additional studies. The transfer was carried out as a precautionary measure and under supervision." This Monday morning, Silvana Acosta insisted that the Justice system authorize the transfer of her father to Santiago. "What I want as a daughter, and what I am insisting on, and for which I have asked for help, is because I want to fulfill what my father intended. He was cautious, he organized himself, and he arranged with his health insurance plan a plan in which he had 100% coverage at the Clínica Alemana, all his insurance was there, it was the care that he liked," she said. "So, I want to fulfill that desire and continue with what he was accustomed to, which was to be treated at the Clínica Alemana, where everything is guaranteed. I take this opportunity to ask you once again to pray and send good wishes so that my father gets better as soon as possible, and does not suffer pain. I send you all my love," she concluded. Conflicting views. In response to this request, Damián and Julio dismissed this idea in their statement. "It has been determined that he will remain hospitalized for a few days to undergo all the necessary tests and studies, in a center that has accompanied his medical care for years and where there is a thorough knowledge of his clinical condition," they stated. "We want to convey reassurance; this is not a situation of severity, but rather an instance aimed at prevention, control, and study," they added. And they added: "As a family, we will continue to focus on his well-being, always striving to ensure that he receives the appropriate care, in an environment of respect, care, and tranquility." Finally, they indicated that they will only provide information when the situation requires it. "Likewise, and as has been our way of acting, communications will only be made when it is truly necessary, always prioritizing accompaniment, care, and respect for his privacy over any media exposure," they emphasized. "We deeply appreciate the affection, concern, and respect that so many people have expressed to us, and we hope to be able to share good news soon," they concluded.
