University of Sports tied no goals in view of Lima Alliance in what was one more edition of the Peruvian soccer classic. After taking a point at the Alejandro Villanueva stadium, the Uruguayan coach Jorge Fossatiamong other things, explained the substitution of Edison Flores. Despite the fact that several games have passed since his return to the cream team, the popular ‘Orejas’ has not yet been able to start. Of course, with his entry, on Saturday night against the blue and whites, the ’19 ′ of the meringues showed that he is ready to start.
“If a player in the Flores category is not in the eleven, it is because he is just getting up to speed. When the University brought Edison, I said it was to enjoy him for a year and a half. You don’t have to rush and take risks that can leave you out for several games ”, Fossati said at a press conference.

“It is obvious when a player of this class enters, we would say “the light comes on”. But I sincerely believe that, in this game, the team was already showing signs that it was much calmer, more sure of itself”The Uruguayan coach added about Edison Flores.
In addition to the substitution of ‘Orejas’, Jorge Fossati highlighted the change of mentality of Universitario to face the second half against Alianza Lima. For the Uruguayan coach, the ‘U’ was practically the owner of the second half of the Clásico.
“Yes of course. To summarize, the first half was even and it seems to us that we needed to lower a change in terms of emotions, in tension, and raise a change in attention. When we did it in the second half, it was practically the entire domain of this team that makes me feel more proud every day ”, said.
On the other hand, he referred to the case of Sebastián Avellino. “The coaching staff is hurt by what happened with Seba. We have had the ability to open parentheses, to close parentheses and say ‘now is the game’. You have to know how to turn the bad moments into good ones, because they are all the bad moments where you can get positive things”.
