“For the Centennial, Canchita is a great player, a better player and a great person” | INTERVIEW

-How could you define the work with Fabian Bustos?

We are working quite well, the teacher only arrived on December 30 of last year, he started working on January 2, so we are only going for a short time. We already know what he wants, since he is a technician with a good disposition for work and I know that he will do well for us.

-What do you think of the new and latest signing of the ‘U’, Second Portocarrero?

The truth is I don’t know him yet, I’ve only seen some videos, I know he’s a fast player from what I’ve seen. He comes after being observed by Manuel (Barreto), who has been doing a successful job so far. He is bringing a player with a good ideal profile for this group: a good person and also in sports, which is important.

-Have you talked to Jairo Concha yet? How have you taken the journey of arriving at the U, since you come from the classic rival, something that you also experienced?

The truth is that we have not talked about that, he was already in Alianza, now he is in the ‘U’ and I think the most important thing is that Concha is a good person and we know that he is a good player, so we have to support him. I think that’s the most important thing, so we have to take care of him so that he can provide the best football he can and his own version of it. The most important thing is that Jairo brings us on the field and I know that he is a professional, responsible boy and he knows that he has come to the ‘U’, where there is another pressure.

-How was that farewell with Jorge Fossati?

It was a short talk and a nice meeting, he came as the coach of the national team and we also said goodbye. He told us that beyond the love he has for the club and the players, he will always look at the performance of each player. You have to have faith, he is a good coach for Peru right now.

-Would you bet that with Fossati the Peruvian team will do well?

You have to have faith, he is a great coach, you have to support him, I have had it and I know that we will do well.

-Will there be any change to the game system in U 2024?

For now we have been playing in one way, if Bustos will change it he will tell us, but in the meantime we follow the teacher’s instructions. But more important than the system is that the team works well.

-What do you expect from the presentation of the U on this Noche Crema 2024?

It is a special night, both for the players and the fans and more so in the Centennial of the largest club in the country and we have the possibility of becoming two-time champions, we hope to give the show that the fan deserves and in sports to have a good game so that the fan leaves happy.

-Will the return of Christofer Gonzales do good for the U?

It’s not confirmed yet, right? (laughs) But if he arrives he is a great asset, a great player and a better person.

-How to handle the pressure in the 100 years of achieving the two-time championship in the U?

At the U there is always pressure, since we are in the biggest team in the country, we must always win and even more so this year, we have a good team, a good group that maintains the base and that is the most important thing to achieve great goals. goals.

-Win the two-time championship or do a good job in the Copa Libertadores, what are you left with?

Obviously one will always want both, right now we are focused on the Centennial and what every fan longs for is for us to make history. My goal is to do things well with the U and become a champion with the team in its Centennial year.
