Gregorio Pérez on Alex Valera: “He has no roof, he needed support and trust”

University did not have a good time in League 1, but with the arrival of Gregorio Pérez in recent days, the cream team found stability and a better game, something that was reflected in results and in the individual performance of many players on the squad.

One of those who stood out the most was Alex Valera, who started the season as a substitute, but made enough merits to be the ‘9’ of University. In League 1 he scored 11 goals, while in the Copa Libertadores he scored two more.

In an interview with Gol Perú, Gregorio Pérez highlighted the work of the Peruvian striker: “I saw Alex Valera play and he left me feeling that I needed support and confidence. He was called up to the Peruvian team, he has a good physique and is very powerful. He is a player who has no ceiling “.

The challenge for Universitario in the first months of 2022 is the Copa Libertadores. On the possibility of qualifying for the round of 16, he said: “That is the great goal. Sometimes all the effort is put in and you don’t succeed. The aspiration is to enter the group zone, I know that there are many teams like the ‘U’ that will be in the same situation. We have to measure up “.

Regarding the reinforcements, he indicated: “We have a basis, but it is necessary to clarify about certain details. Some incorporations need to be made at the local level and we will also see at the international level “.

Gregorio Pérez fulfills his second stage as a University coach. During his first step, he was left behind to qualify for the group zone, after being eliminated against Cerro Porteño.
