Alianza Lima: Hernán Barcos spoke of the victory against UTC and the improvement of the team in the face of the series of matches

Alianza Lima has experienced a change in its game that has allowed it to provide a better image on the playing field. Since the duel with River Plate, despite the defeat, this improvement was reflected, which ended up moving to the score against UTC. In that regard, Hernán Barcos spoke on this subject and considered that the Argentines saw another attitude.

“Really against River it was shown that a different attitude was imposed. The group has improved in that regard and, beyond the result, we think it was the starting point for the team's recovery. Today we achieved a good result and that speaks well of the work of the collective”, said the striker at a press conference after the match against the Cajamarquinos.

And it is that before the 'Millionaire', a 'Victorian' team was clearly seen that competed and lived up to the match. The visitors did not speculate and from the first minute it could be seen that they sought to score. However, the 'blue and white' squad played on the field the game it exhibited last year and that won them national champion: he managed a solid defense to seek the counterattack with the speed and experience of his attackers (the same 'Pirata' and Cristian Benavente).

Unfortunately, a deconcentration and the hierarchy imposed by River meant that they ended up being left with the triumph by the minimum with Matías's goal Suarez, but the perception of those who could observe this commitment left a Peruvian team who, if they maintain that level, can cope without any problem with the rest of the teams in group F such as Colo-Colo from Chile and Fortaleza from Brazil.

Now, as for the work done, the footballer 'gaucho' asked his fans to trust them so that this growth in their performance can be accompanied by their unconditional encouragement. “During the week the group worked very well, talked a lot and I can only tell the fans to continue to trust us, at the club we are grateful for their unconditional encouragement. Today, thank God, the goal came over the end, but we had the responsibility to cut this negative streak,” he said.

Finally, Barcos is aware that with the duels of Liga 1 and Copa Libertadores, the 'intimates' manage a tight schedule, although he highlighted the unity of the squad to move forward the results. “I only ask for patience because this group is united and very dedicated to moving things forward. There are hard games coming, but we will go step by step. There is no anxiety here, we are all dedicated to doing their job well”, he concluded.

Against the 'Gavilán del Norte', as was well mentioned above, this progress could be seen reflected in the team's performance. From the start they set out to seek victory, although they failed to achieve the chances they had through Wilmer Aguirre or Hernán himself. Even Pablo Miguez had an offside goal canceled. However, the persistence and firmness shown in defense, gave them peace of mind so that, through the 'Pirate', they could prevail and keep the 3 points .

NEXT MATCH

Alianza Lima turned the page of the match against the group led by Franco Navarro and is thinking about what will be held against Colo-Colo for Copa Libertadores. In fact, he will play as a visitor in Santiago de Chile and will try to steal the most points to aspire to fight to make it through the group stage, either to the round of 16, or also thinking of a third place that will qualify them to the Copa Sudamericana. Everything will be resolved over the course of the matches.
