Gregorio Pérez, the University coach who prepares the return to a Copa Libertadores

The critical and exhausting time he endured academic during the last year it expired with the return of Gregorio perez. The Uruguayan coach returned the hope and prosperity to the cream team. This short path has seemed simple, but nothing could be further from the truth. The classification almost assured to the Liberators cup, in the absence of a date for the end of League 1 2021, it is not a coincidence.

Gregorio perez has a lot to do with it. He returned home to take the reins of a team that was in the middle of nowhere, without any sense. And, in the face of adversity, the ‘Master’ gave a new impulse to the ‘U’ to dream big.

After several twists and turns – before the return of the Uruguayan strategist – the cream team was miraculously located among the places that qualified for the South American Cup (7th), but without it being safe. He was close to being empty-handed in this season finale, but in the end it has not been like that.

The contribution of Gregorio perez It has been phenomenal. Before his return, the outlook for Universitario was more than complicated. Reaching the third place that he occupies today seemed impossible. But he has succeeded.

With DT charrúa, the cream team has had a great improvement and this has been evidenced in the results. In the absence of a matchday, the ‘U’ has won six matches out of seven possible with him at the helm, while before his arrival they had only triumphed in two of nine matches in Phase 2.

. His only fall was against Deportivo Municipal (2-0) and then he won everything else to fulfill the dream of the creams.

– The scoring card –

None of this would have been possible without a scorer. In his first stage as a University coach, Gregorio Pérez had a great offensive figure: Jonathan dos Santos. In the absence of the Uruguayan striker, who now plays for Queretaro of Liga MX, the cream coach found a new scoring card: Alex Valera.

Before the return of the ‘Master’, University was not very fine in its aim. Hernán Novick was the scoring refuge for the cream team. But the net forwards on the squad weren’t getting the numbers they needed.

In fact, the ‘U’ was suffering in Phase 2: in the nine games before Gregorio, the cream team scored 13 goals and suffered the same number of goals. .

The attacker who has achieved the best performance in this new stage is Alex Valera. Gregorio Pérez has managed to exploit the virtues of the 25-year-old forward and has given him the confidence he needs to shine in the team’s offense.

.

The improvement of the team, both individually and generally, is evident. academic It is resuming its best version and qualification for the Copa Libertadores, for the third consecutive year, is almost a fact. This adventure is just beginning for Gregorio Pérez and the cream team. Touch point to 2022.
