It is time for Alianza Lima to leave behind 2023, the blackout and the Blanquiazul Fund | OPINION

The national team stoppage and a new disappointment from Juan Reynoso’s Peru turned their attention away from La Victoria, where in less than a year dreams turned into nightmares. Lima Alliance He started 2023 excited to be a three-time champion twice, in the men’s and women’s teams, but it closed in the least expected way: empty-handed, in the dark and with a damaged image. He ‘blackout’ in the defeat against Universitario It was just the latest sign of confusion among those who run the intimate club, given that Jose Sabogal as one of the main people responsible. To the still general manager (will leave his position at the next Meeting of Creditors) the position was too big for him, being pointed out for his lack of leadership in decision-making, the power outage in the League 1 final and his poor identification with the colors of the institution in his almost six months of management.

a former member of the Blue and white background dates prior to the culmination of the Clausura, when the definition with the creams was imminent. Disgust also reached Jose Bellina, who, like the Alliance administrator, opted for silence at key moments, such as when doubts arose in the work of the medical staff due to the number of injuries that affected the first team. The sports manager is also blamed for the signing of Christian Cuevawhich was a yes sir from Diego Gonzales Posada.

Sabogal’s failure was related to his ‘style’ of letting things go and letting go. The problems were also in the Blue and white background, Alianza’s main creditor, which advanced amid setbacks and ended up going bankrupt before mid-year, lacking horizon and leadership. The most redeeming thing, which cannot be denied, was the return to First Division through the TAS and having achieved the two-time championship between 2021 and 2022.

It’s time to leave the past behind, where they are Diego Gonzales Posada, Salomón Lerner, Fernando Farah, Antonio Armejo, Remigio Morales Bermúdez and César Torres. With their successes and mistakes, they are no longer in the Blue and White Fund and can no longer be held responsible for the present or the future.

Now, with the main creditor in new hands, in La Victoria a different story must begin to be written, one that looks towards the future. In the coming weeks there will be news on Lima Alliance, both institutional and sports, with responsibility in Carlos Hiraoka or whoever is defined as spokesperson. The important thing, which they must not forget, is that they must communicate formally and not let rumors be the official source of information for the club with the largest fan base in the country. This new Blue and White Fund must be very clear that in its hands is the task of returning the shine to the intimate club on the centenary of the classic rival.
