Yotún on Aquino prior to Cruz Azul vs. America: “It’s nice to face a brother”

The match Cruz Azul vs. America generates great expectations in Liga MX this weekend, given that they are two of the strongest teams and candidates for the title. This new edition of this Young Classic will feature the presence of two Peruvian athletes who have known each other for a long time: Yoshimar Yotún in the ‘Machine’ and Pedro Aquino in the ‘Aguilas’.

Hours before the start of the match, ‘Yoshi’ referred to this issue and sent a message to his partner in the Peruvian team. “It’s nice to be able to face a compatriot outside your country. In addition, it will be with two great teams and nothing less than in a Classic”, Explained the flyer in an interview for Record.

However, Yoshimar Yotún believes that the close relationship he has with Pedro Aquino makes the game more special. “It is more beautiful to face a brother. We have known each other since we were little, when we were in the lower ranks of Sporting Cristal. I know him well and I am pleased with the growth he has had”He added.

In the same way, he made it clear that the relationship they have will not prevent them from having crosses during Cruz Azul vs. America. “Inside the field I think that brotherhood is forgotten and each one defends his colors. If I have to play, it will be nice to face Pedro in a Classic. We will see each other on Sunday and after that we will remain brothers, it’s over”, Ended ‘Yoshi’.

It is worth mentioning that Yoshimar Yotún has not been considered as a starter by Juan Reynoso in the last matches of the club and could start as a substitute in the Classic. On the other hand, Pedro Aquino made sense to this date and coach Santiago Solari will decide whether to use it or not.
