Lima Alliance was projected to compete inside and outside the country this year, for which it made contracts such as jesus castillo. Today he is the starter, thanks to his good performance, as happened against Alianza Atlético last Sunday (he gave an assist to Pablo Sabbag for the winning goal), as well as against Athletico Paranaense, where he was a key player in maintaining equality on the scoreboard.
The 27-year-old midfielder is clear that he must continue working hard, as his goal is to continue in the ‘Chicho’ Salas scheme, as he confessed in an interview with PTR this Monday. “He was physically and mentally prepared to start against Paranaense. I concentrate with Bryan Reyna, now he is quite involved with the team’s objective“, he pointed.
Although now the objective is to score for the next cup match, they will also have to contain the fury of their Paraguayan rival: Libertad (in their debut in the group stage, the ‘Guarani’ beat Atlético Mineiro 1-0). In that sense, Castle held that “I saw Libertad against Mineiro and I think it’s going to be a tough opponent. We have to play an intelligent game to be able to hit”.
But it was not the only one. The entire squad had the mission of seeing the comparison of the other teams with which they compete in the HG Group. “We watched Libertad’s match against Atlético Mineiro and we know that they are going to be a very tough opponent. I think that the bad streak is left aside, we think about our objective”, he emphasized.
Finally, the former Cantolao midfielder also commented on the union that the squad maintains. “The problems that may exist internally remain there. The group is strong, now we are thinking about the main objective, which is to win the Opening Tournament and have a good Copa Libertadores”, he sentenced.
tight schedule
What is the next challenge Lima Alliance? Those directed by Guillermo Salas are shaping up to face Cantolao, for date 12 of the Opening Tournament (this Saturday 7 pm.). Although they will have the whole week to prepare for the clash with the ‘Dolphin’, in an intimate store they are clear that it is impossible not to look askance at what is coming internationally (they are also part of a group with Atlético Mineiro from Brazil and Libertad from Paraguay ).
This is how tight the blue and white calendar is: on Saturday, April 15, from 7:00 pm, they will collide in front of the ‘Delfín; then they must pack their bags to travel to Asunción and face Libertad on Thursday 20 (9:00 pm, Peruvian time). After that, they will return to the country to play against Unión Comercio, on Sunday the 23rd.
