And it is that before Goiás everything began to tremble. Once again, as in the last two Liga 1 games, it took Universitario a lifetime to establish itself and find the right paths towards the goal: the goal. Discreet performances like that of Aldo Corzo, Di Benedetto and Pérez Guedes, made it difficult for the ‘U’ to assume the leading role in the match.
it’s more. 87 minutes were delivered to Goiás, who did little damage. Of course, although they beat Carvallo with two goals, in the midfield the Brazilians ran into a Ureña delivered to anticipation and the mark, work that prevented the disbandment of the visit and balanced the game at times. He gave air, calm, for moments.
Higher up, everything continued to be an effort, unclear, but finally that; conviction, courage, claw.
If Marcelo Bielsa praises something above talent and discipline, it is the amateur spirit. That is, the inexhaustible desire to fight until the last moment. As far as possible. Because it is the ability to rebel against circumstances that builds heroes and epics. With the mistake involved, it doesn’t matter, because making mistakes makes idols what they finally are; people of flesh and blood. And that, deep down, is what captivates the fan. Knowing that his team is made of people like them. Everyday fighters.
That chip was installed by Ricardo Gareca in the Peruvian team and it worked. The same methodology of Gregorio Pérez and today the speech of Jorge Fossati that has permeated so well in Universitario. A squad that he did not put together but that he knew how to adapt according to the needs to maximize efforts and performance. Delivery is not negotiated and this team knows it.
That’s why you can never give up this ‘U’ for dead. Goiás thought that the game had already been resolved and Williams Riveros, ‘Tarzán’, appeared to put the discount at 87 minutes. Then, at 96′, with time served, the one who would headbutt for the dramatic 2-2 was Alex Valera, another living testimony that conviction works miracles.
