Carlos Bustos lamented the landslide suffered by Alianza Lima: “We are ashamed and sorry”

Alianza Lima said goodbye to the 2022 edition of the Copa Libertadores leaving an image to be forgotten: an 8-1 win against River Plate at the Monumental stadium. After the large scoreboard, coach Carlos Bustos faced the media and, on behalf of the delegation, claimed to feel “ashamed” of what happened last Wednesday night in Buenos Aires.

“I can’t tell you anything at this very hot moment. Alianza Lima is too big to represent it in this kind of way. We are ashamed and sorry. Definitely Alianza Lima is too big to make this type of presentations “stated the Blue and Whites coach at a press conference.

Immediately, the Argentine strategist rehearsed an explanation about the very hard fall of the intimates in the international championship. From the outset, the DT admitted that, in championships of this magnitude, errors can be too damaging and, from this, he found a reason for the historic win.

“River Plate is a great team, they play very well and at an important speed, but we made mistakes that cannot happen at this level. In the Copa Libertadores when you make a mistake there is very little margin for error “added Bustos, who arrived at the Victorian team in the previous campaign.

The figure of the day was Julián Álvarez, who scored six of River Plate’s eight goals at home and on the anniversary of the Argentine institution. Meanwhile, Santiago Simón and Elías Gómez completed the achievements for the cast led by coach Marcelo Gallardo.

With this result, the Victorian team accumulated a total of 29 commitments without winning in the Copa Libertadores, since throughout the group stage of this edition they have only managed to accumulate one point, with the draw against Colo Colo in National Stadium of Lima.
