At the beginning of the year, one in ten Alliance members grimaced when they found out about the arrival of Pablito Lavandeira, a Uruguayan who had wandered through several mid-table teams and, in addition, had put on the cream. It was not strange that the alliancist fan had a dislike for him. Just like that, no one comes from the sidewalk across the street.
But Lavandeira proved throughout the year to be a thorough professional. He is one of those few players who run the entire game, know how to catch a ball, they also have the sensitivity to assist and, last but not least, they are hungry for goals. On top of that he is a good companion.
A few hours ago, in Matute, Pablo Lavandeira responded to the call of history and donned the hero’s cape. If Yordi Vílchez’s goal served to relax the ‘dolls’, Lavandeira’s was to sentence everything. The one who wore the label of two-time national champion. It was a consecration night, since it is the first title of his career.
The recently nationalized Peruvian bathes in glory in Peruvian soccer that today will feel like his own more than ever. laundry in a great play and after a mistake by Cáceda he scored a great header to the delight of all the blue and white fans.
“Impossible to explain what I feel. There are so many things, everything that cost me. When I got here my teammates told me that I was going to be champion. I want to thank all the people of Alianza Lima, my family who are here, those who are in Uruguay who always supported me.”declared Gol Peru excited after the game.
