Hernán Barcos and Renato Tapia got together: the photo of two alliance members and the praise of the ‘Pirate’

They have not shared a team, but Alianza Lima unites them. One is currently one of the main strikers for the ‘Intimates’, and the other, in addition to being a self-confessed fan, has the hope of wearing the blue and white one day. We are talking about Hernán Barcos and Renato Tapia, who got together and left a postcard to remember.

Both footballers met in a sports store, greeted each other and exchanged a few words. Minutes later, the “Pirate” uploaded the image to his Instagram account and praised the member of the Peruvian team. “Nice to see you, crack”, wrote.

The meeting took place four days after Tapia went to the Alejandro Villanueva Stadium to watch the match between Alianza Lima and Ayacucho FC, for the Opening Tournament of League 1. That time, the 26-year-old athlete enjoyed the victory of the Victorian team , with goals from Hernán Barcos and Pablo Lavandeira.

Alianza Lima, a dream for Tapia

On June 13, the Peruvian team fell on penalties against Australia, in the direct duel of the Qatar 2022 World Cup playoff. The squad led by Ricardo Gareca did not show off its best football version and Renato Tapia recently referred to that match, reflecting his sorrow for the defeat.

“It’s very unfair, everything done in the Qualifiers is summed up in one game. We played bad, it was not our day”, The midfielder initially confessed, in an interview for DirecTV Sports. Let’s remember that this time, due to the tight schedule, the playoff changed its format and went to a single match.

Thinking about his future, Renato highlighted his longing for the national tournament. “For me, it is a dream to play in Alianza Lima. I would like to return to Peru, not so old, and be able to compete for good weather here”, Tapia concluded.
