Cristian Benavente: this was the first practice of the ‘Chaval’ in Alianza Lima | VIDEO

Alianza Lima continues to train with a view to the second date of the Professional League 1 and this Thursday there was a special presence. Cristian Benavente, who was recently presented as a brand new reinforcement of the institution, placed himself under the orders of Carlos Bustos and completed his first day of practice in the ‘Blanquiazul’ store.

The La Victoria club decided to share a video with some images of the skilled midfielder at the Matute facilities, where his new teammates physically fit. The ‘Chaval’ was very happy with the start of this new stage in his career and, initially, he set out to greet each of the team members.

However, Cristian Benavente not only had the conventional handshake with the rest of the Alianza Lima footballers, but also underwent the popular “panado”. The 27-year-old athlete tried to cover himself from the blows, although he could not avoid being hit by Jefferson Farfán, Christian Ramos, Jefferson Portales and the other players.

Then, ‘Bena’ began to warm up and appeared next to Aldair Fuentes, whom he had already treated, as he revealed at a press conference: “I met him in Madrid, when he was in Fuenlabrada, but also quite a few people here, the club is very familiar and that is one of the team’s strengths”.

Finally, Cristian Benavente jogged around the Matute field and participated in a reduced. The midfielder will seek to adapt well physically to start earning minutes with Alianza Lima, which at the same time will allow him to find his best soccer form.

What was Cristian Benavente’s last match?

The last game that Cristian Benavente played was on February 26, 2021, when he was wearing the Sporting Charleroi shirt. That time, the athlete entered from the bench to play the last 20 minutes of the match against Genk, which ended in defeat (1-2). From that moment on, physical problems marginalized ‘Chaval’ from the concentration of the Belgian club. Then, in June, he returned to the Pyramids of Egypt, where he was not considered.
