“I met Hernán Barcos and I was speechless”: the story behind the intimates who seek to win the national futsal down title with Alianza

One of those responsible for the tremendous feat was its captain, Edgard Gómez, who scored a goal in that decisive duel and was considered the best player in the championship. Edgard tells us, proudly wearing his blue and white t-shirt, which perfectly represents what the club seeks in all its categories: well-rounded athletes, as Professor Mamani highlights.

“Edgard is very complete, from a personal and football perspective. In the final with San Martín, he approached the Saint players to give them words of encouragement, because several of them are his teammates on the national team. “He is a complete athlete.”highlights the guide of the intimates, who has been at the institution for five years and after going through minors and academies, received the mission of heading this project from which he feels he learns every day. “It is continuous learning, since one wants to leave them with lessons both on a sporting and personal level. In addition, we try to do group activities with them, we tell each other things to get away from the sports topic a little, there is a lot of communication with parents, it is an integrated work”highlights the leader of the team that will soon seek to become the national champion against Empate, the winning team of the Apertura, in a single match.

That clash with Empate will have a special flavor for the blue and white captain, because it is his former team. , confesses Edgard, who when he found out that the Futsal Down option was opened last year in the intimate club, he already wanted to take the tests, but the wise advice of his parents made him make the decision that they be It is his skills that will take him to the team of his loves. He just dedicated himself to playing and proving in every game that he was the best. That’s how he got the call from La Victoria to fulfill his biggest dream. “Since I was a child I wanted to be in Alianza Lima, but because of my disability, it seemed impossible to me. When futsal down opened in the institution, I set it as my goal, I had every desire to represent the club.”words that define what it means to wear that shirt for Edgard.

A few weeks ago, the winners of the Futsal Down Clausura Tournament shared a pleasant moment at the Matute stadium with the main team, demonstrating the unity that exists between all the categories of the institution. An unforgettable moment that allowed the boys to be close to their idols. , says an excited Edgard, whose main international references are two Brazilians who have already retired from professional activity: Kaká and Ronaldinho.

“I love them very much and every day I try to give them everything they deserve, they represent us all well, they are wonderful people”, is Professor Mamani’s message to his pupils, who in more than 12 months of work already feel like a family. And when it comes to messages, the captain is not far behind, but he is dedicated to the fans: “I am the fan who took the field and I am going to give my life for Alianza”.

This is what Edgard Gómez promises, as well as the entire La Victoria Futsal Down team, which won all its Clausura duels and is already thinking about the national final, but also about what will be its international participation in the Latin American Futsal Cup. Even to be played from November 3 to 5 in Salto, Uruguay, but the captain wants to go further and sends a message to the Peruvian fan: “I thank the national Futsal Down team, with whom we will play the Copa América on 16 to November 27 in Sao Paulo, that is why I ask the fans to support us in the pro-fund raffles that we are holding.”
