It was never our intention, for any reason, to mock anyone; we simply got carried away by the joy," the chairman declared on that occasion.

The promise
Although the acidic comment against the Macul club's director stole the spotlight, the center-back, who played for Tigres and América in Mexico, also drew reactions with a particular promise he made to the blue faithful.
In another of the images he posted, Lichnovsky asserted that in 2027 they will win the Primera Liga title, ending a 10-year drought without lifting the Torneo Nacional.
In addition, he also uploaded a photo with the Copa Chile he won during his youth academy days in 2012-2013, stating that "Soon you're coming home."
It should be noted that the blues are in the semifinals of the domestic tournament, where they will face Coquimbo Unido for a spot in the decisive stage.
