Sporting Cristal He has two responsibilities for this season: the League 1 title and playing a good role in the Copa Libertadores (they are in phase 2). For this reason, the idea of Tiago Nunes -and of everyone at Rímac- was to add six points at the start of the local championship: with Alianza Lima they won by walk over (the blue and whites did not show up due to the FPF’s handling of the rights of TV) and against Mannucci they had the chance to keep the six points. However, towards the end Bryan Urrutia appeared for the Trujillo team and sealed the 1-1.
Although the match took place at the Mansiche stadium, in the Rimense store they felt that the tie was not the expected result. Above all because of how the match had developed: Leandro Sosa opened the scoring at 65 ‘and everything indicated that Sporting Cristal he was going to win. Taking all of this scenario into account, at Rímac they want to turn the page and they announced their work schedule for the week.
Yes, Tiago Nunes’s squad wants to go all out for this Friday’s clash against Melgar, at the Alberto Gallardo stadium (4 pm). This Monday they started with everything in Florida, from 10 am. As of this Tuesday, and until Thursday, the works will be held in a single shift, but they will start earlier: 8:30 am. Be careful, on Saturday and Sunday – after the match with the ‘rojinegros’ – there will be no rest: the sessions will also be at Rímac and in the morning.
Regarding the commitment to the ‘Carlist’ cadre, Irven Ávila did not hide his annoyance: “We deserved more for everything we developed in the game, but we have to correct some mistakes and capture what we worked on during the week. We are very sorry for letting the win go by, but we must focus on Friday’s game”.
The word of Tiago Nunes
Sporting Cristal tied against Carlos A. Mannucci in the city of Trujillo. The beer team had the match dominated, but got distracted in the last minutes and only salvaged a point from the Mansiche stadium. In the midst of this panorama, Tiago Nunes, technical director of the ‘celestial’, spoke about the current situation of his coaches and regretted the result. They had the chance to add six points in League 1.
“It’s a hard feeling because it was a controlled match, we created scoring situations in the first half, not so much in the second half, but in the end conceding a goal like that was difficult. Beyond the national tournament we are preparing for the international tournament and there a goal like that is expensive”stated the Brazilian guide at a press conference.
