González with a goal, Yotún’s new position and an export Grimaldo: the UnoxUno of Cristal’s victory in his exciting presentation

Within these tactical variants there are two changes that renewed this Crystal: Yoshimar Yotún playing as a “free man” who acts almost as a second striker accompanying Martin Cauteruccio and the Brazilian Gustavo Cazanotti -reinforcement for 2024 just like ‘Caute’- partnering with Martin Tavara.

It was, then, a completely celestial afternoon. Absolute figure. He started as a midfielder/winger on the left and ended up on the right. On both sides he caused danger. With more confidence compared to previous seasons. Much more mature after 2023 in which he debuted with the national team. And assuming the responsibility of being, this year, the unbalancer of his team in order to fulfill his dream of emigrating (in Córdoba, Argentina, they will have regretted not signing him).

Grimaldo’s show began with an assist to Jhilmar Lora (4′) who stepped into the area as a winger as a winger. He later was involved in the Catholic defender’s own goal. And he closed his night with a great goal from outside the area. He was able to score a double with another long-distance shot, but the ball hit the crossbar. Consecrating afternoon that must be maintained this season in League 1, if it does not leave before. The fan in the stands asks him to stay.

The eleven that started and the one that would be the starter had Renato Solis in the arch. Little work, although he committed a penalty that was not taken by referee Bruno Pérez. Lora on the right with very good back and forth, always being an option in attack. Ignatiussafe as always, together with Leonardo Diaz very good work. On the left Pasquini He was confident in defense and attack.

In the middle, the duo Cazanotti-Távara which is being understood very well in the field. On the right Santiago Gonzalez, which came as a great bet from the second division of Argentina and responded with a great game and scoring a goal. On the left the already mentioned Grimaldo.

Above, the Argentine Martin Cauteruccio He has not yet adapted to his new equipment. The speed and verticality of his attacks made him look slow. A 9 in the area that needs balls, but without the physicality to press high and run at rival defenders. He played 45 minutes, he still has a lot to prove for sure. Next to him, Yoshimar Yotúnin a new position that deserves separate paragraphs.

Yotún’s surprising position

“What do you play?”field journalist Pablo Ocaña asked a member of Enderson Moreira’s technical command, according to what he said in the broadcast through Latina. “Free”they responded. Yoshimar Yotun He stopped being an interior player and settled in almost as a second striker. He was the first to press. He also appeared on the wings.

Captain, locker room leader and total owner of the light blue team. All-terrain for coach Moreira. Yoshi did not score, but he created danger. In fact, he was the one who pressured and stole the ball in Rimense’s first goal, Lora’s. He also had the sacrifice to support the midfielders when necessary.

A look at foreigners

Gustavo Cazanotti In midfield he showed all his credentials. He is confident and strong on the mark, not so brilliant with the ball at his feet but doing what is necessary to give fluidity to the game. It was a friendly, but he played it as if it were a final: he scored, ran and put his heart into it when necessary.

Santiago Gonzalez He surprised the fan who applauded his every intervention in the stands. Right or left, he was always daring with the ball and quick to dribble. He crowned his day with a headed goal, appearing as a forward, after a Lora cross. He can also play through the middle, very clear with the ball at his feet.

Cauteruccio He is the third foreign reinforcement for 2024. A 9 in the area, a hunter, but who had a hard time adapting to a very fast and vertical team. He had a couple of unclear chances because they didn’t feed him. He played 45 minutes, perhaps a sign that he is not yet one hundred percent physically.
