Roberto Mosquera spoke about the reason for Marcos Riquelme’s departure from Sporting Cristal

Sporting Cristal was the favorite to win the League 1 title, but lost in the final to Alianza Lima. The intimates won 1-0 in the first leg and drew goalless in the second leg. For 2022, the celestial ones are already projected to face the local tournament and the Copa Libertadores.

Several days after the final, Roberto Mosquera spoke about the conversation he had with Marcos Riquelme, who will not continue at Rímac. For the Bajopontino strategist, time played against the Argentine attacker.

“A striker is missing, a nine. I spoke with Riquelme, I thanked him. It is a tremendous example for the boys. He showed that he was a pure scorer but lacked the time to assert himself “, detailed Roberto Mosquera in dialogue with the press department of the heavenly club.

The Sporting Cristal coach, in turn, highlighted the arrival of Leandro Sosa, a Uruguayan player who in the last two seasons defended the Ayacucho FC shirt. He scored nine goals and registered 49 games with the ‘Zorros’ jersey. Roberto Mosquera gave the go-ahead for his incorporation.

“I spoke with Sosa and he is happy. He said something to me that surprised me. He told me that he told his family ‘I have to play for Sporting Cristal’. It was nice talking to him. Sosa has come to the place he deserves and by merits “commented the celestial technician.

Regarding the work schedule and the other positions in which he seeks to strengthen his staff, this is what the ‘teacher’ added: “Starting from scratch in the sense of looking for suitable players for some positions. But there is an economic reality of the club. The budget has moved very little. We have the same demand with the same or with more budget ”.
