Renato Tapia is confident that Alianza Lima will beat Universitario in the Peruvian football classic

Renato Tapia spoke from Spain in a recent interview and referred to the Peruvian football classic, among many other things. The flier of Celta de Vigo and the Peruvian national team did not hesitate to make his favorite known and give him all the confidence for the duel between Alianza Lima and Universitario de Deportes, in the framework of the tenth date of the League 1 2022 Apertura Tournament.

“Alianza Lima wins them,” the midfielder said in an interview with DirecTV Sports, referring not only to the first division match of men's football, but also to the women's football. Remember that the girls will also play this exciting engagement this Saturday, April 16 from 03:30pm (Peruvian time) at the Monumental Stadium and with fans in the stands.

Let's remember that the 'Captain of the Future' confessed at the time that he is a fan of Alianza Lima and that at some point he would like to defend the 'blue and white' shirt. However, let us remember that he was formed at Sporting Cristal and Esther Grande de Bentin. The 26-year-old will have action this Sunday from 11:30 a.m. (Peruvian time) for matchday 32 of LaLiga.

Alianza Lima and Universitario will meet this Sunday, April 17 at the Monumental de Ate stadium from 3:00pm (Peruvian time) and will have 57,000 tickets enabled for local fans. The match, to be played within the framework of the tenth date of the 2022 League 1 Apertura Tournament, will be broadcast on the GOLPERU channel. The one in charge of delivering justice will be Kevin Ortega, who has already directed classics.

TAPIA CONGRATULATED MIGUEL ARAUJO

With three dates left, Emmen FC, with Miguel Araujo on the pitch, managed to achieve the long-awaited promotion to the top division of football after defeating Dordrecht 1-0. For this reason, Renato Tapia spoke about former Alianza Lima.

“I am always in communication with Araujo, he is an excellent person, he deserves this. He went back to where he shouldn't have gone,” he said in the interview.

JOSÉ SOTO TALKED ABOUT THE CLASSIC

Shortly after a new Peruvian football classic, José 'Pepe' Soto emphasized that in this match it should be the starting point for the 'blue and white' to rebound in the standings. Remember that Alianza Lima comes from a victory in League 1 and rose to square 13 with eight points, but still a long way from the leaders.

“From a very young age they told us: 'anyone but the classic rival'. Sunday has to be the starting point and the players know it. By the head they know that it is a nice opportunity to reverse all this bad situation that they are going through. If you play a good game and you don't win, it's going to be more of the same. But if you win the game, playing well or not, people will thank you,” the coach said in an interview with GOLPERU.
