“One would like those who know to have the ball more”, “we need a 9 area”: four Alianza leaders and what the defeat in the classic left them

After Saturday night’s classic, Deporte Total was able to listen to four former blue and white soccer players about their feelings about the intimate moment, especially after falling into a classic again.

Juan Jayo, José Soto, Gustavo Roverano and Ernesto Arakaki They accompanied the team they love and came out just as dissatisfied with the defeat, but they ask the fan to trust the team, although of course, they are aware that some adjustments are needed.

“It should be noted that in a large part of the game he made the ‘U’ look bad. “Concha and Canchita could not progress in the match,” assures Juan Jayo, who highlighted that Alianza always went for the result despite the expulsions, he assures.

The captain completely erases that Alianza has gone looking for revenge for last year’s finals, since now another story is being written. “There are no revenges since each classic is different and as such, today we saw a very changed team”he assures.

Nor was it a revenge for Pepe Soto. “2023 has already passed”he says about it. “It is a totally new team and the bravery of Alianza must be highlighted, because they searched until the end. You have to be patient and emphasize your dedication.”assures the ‘Caudillo’.

For Gustavo RoveranoSaturday’s defeat hurts more because the memory of last year’s final is still fresh, but trust in the team and the work that can be done. “Details need to be corrected, but tells us.

The former goalkeeper, champion with Alianza in the 2001 Centennial year, takes time to analyze what the intimate team may be missing. “I get the feeling that he is missing another 9, one from the area. Waterman is not from the area like Barcos”he assures.

About the match, Roveran He highlighted the defense work of the cream team, especially what was done by Riveros and Di Benedetto in the aerial game and regretted that the key plays were for the U.

As a defense, Ernesto Arakaki He dares to talk about what Alianza is looking for in its game. “You can read that there is the intention to come out playing and that depends on what the coach is looking for”tells us.

But that is the weak point in the blue and white team, especially due to the departures of Fuentes and Ramos, who are often the ones who touch it the most before the midfielders. “One would like those who know to have more of the ball, to have a more fluid, more harmonious connection, but it is a matter of time to find the way it works”he tells us.

Thus, four Alianza leaders know that there are things to correct in the team, but they trust in what the boys can do on the playing field in the future, especially since the Copa Libertadores is already being played in April.
