Alianza Lima: Carlos Bustos admitted that “it was not in the calculations” to lose to Sporting Cristal

Alianza Lima lost at home to Sporting Cristal due to a goal executed by Alejnadro Hohberg from twelve steps. After that, Carlos Bustos gave statements to the press and maintained that the defeat was not “was in the calculations”, however, their goal is still to fight for the 2022 League 1 title.

“It is a hard blow. Losing was not in the calculations. I think the game was even, beyond the characteristics of each team. Cristal is a team with possession, but it was a controlled possession. I don’t remember in the first half, apart from a shot outside the area, that possession turned it into danger. The difference is marked by a play by a good player like Gonzales, who goes out. In other words, it is an avoidable penalty.”declared Bustos.

Likewise, the blue and white coach admitted that they lacked efficiency in part of the match: “In the second half we were better but the situation of not assisting well and not taking a good execution in the last part of the plays. that counts and it must be improved, that is hierarchy. You have to have it to play in Alianza Lima”.

Furthermore, he added that “Just as we have to lose today, we could easily have tied it or won it. I think in our game we have to be better in the last third of the pitch. We don’t attend well. Cristal won fairly.”

On the other hand, Carlos Bustos evaluated the start of Alianza in Liga 1 2022: “We got some weird games. The previous match (against Alianza Atlético) was strange. It is very difficult for Alianza Lima to score four goals as it happened. Against Mannucci it was good despite the fact that the team knew how to recover from many things. The day against Boys, the team played well. Grau day we missed. Today was a classic.

The coach of the Victorian team maintained that there “players who are decisive” and them “They need to raise their level to be closer to the result”. “This team is going to fight for the tournament, I have no doubts. We are a little behind in the Apertura, but we will try to position ourselves. When the time comes for the international tournament, we’re also going to make good presentations.” sentenced.
