Universitario vs Alianza Lima: without Christian Ramos, this would be the 'blue and white' eleven for the classic

Carlos Bustos trained this Saturday with all available players and defined the eleven that he will play against Universitario de Deportes in a new Peruvian football classic. The Argentine strategist made some changes to the formation and names to play the tenth date of the 2022 League 1 Apertura Tournament. Christian Ramos left the eleventh of Alianza Lima.

According to Gerson Cuba , the headlines for this Sunday, April 17 at the Monumental Stadium will be: Angelo Campos, Renato Rojas, Jefferson Portales, Pablo Miguez, Yordi Vilchez, Josepmir Ballon, Jairo Concha, Edgar Benitez, Arley Rodriguez, Cristian Benavente and Hernan Barcos. The coach left the line of five to play with four in the back, with wingers without much trade in offense.

From the last eleven with which the 'intimates' played, within the framework of the second date of the Copa Libertadores (defeat to Colo-Colo) there are four changes. They came out: right back Oslimg Mora, left back Ricardo Lagos, centre-back Christian Ramos and steering wheel Oswaldo Valenzuela. All were more suited to the structures with five defenders.

The main variants are in the defense and by the bands. 'Tato', who usually plays central, will go on the right wing, as will Yordi, who will go on the left wing. Both have played at some point as wingers, but it is not exactly the position that best suits them, since they feel more comfortable defending than attacking. In addition, 'Chiquito' Portales will be in charge of taking the position of the 'Sombra', who has performed very poorly in the last few days.

Universitario de Deportes and Alianza Lima will meet at the colossus of Ate from 3:00pm (Peruvian time) and will have 57,000 tickets enabled for local fans. The match, to be played as part of the tenth date of the 2022 League 1 Apertura Tournament, will be broadcast on the GOLPERU channel and only fans of the local team will be able to enter the stadium. The one in charge of delivering justice will be Kevin Ortega, who has already directed classics.

CRISTIAN BENAVENTE WILL PLAY HIS FIRST CLASSIC

The 'Kid' came to Peruvian football from Africa, precisely from the Pyramids of Egypt, where he did not have a place in the team. However, the story is different in Peruvian football, where he has already fully entered the starting eleven of Carlos Bustos and his presence, except for some emergency, will be assured over the weekend against the 'creams'. In this way, Cristian Benavente will have the opportunity to make his debut in the Peruvian football classic. The striker is now the companion of Hernán Barcos on the offensive.

THE PROBABLE ELEVEN OF UNIVERSITY

Alex Valera trained normally this Saturday and Álvaro Gutiérrez will be able to count on him for the weekend as the area benchmark. The only doubt for the Uruguayan strategist is now on the left wing with Nelson Cabanillas or Ivan Santillán. The latter has a nuisance and they will wait for him until the end to find out if he is in the starting eleven.

In this way, Universitario de Deportes would go out with the following team: José Carvallo in the goal; a line of four with Aldo Corzo, Federico Alonso, Nelson Quina, Nelson Cabanillas; the flyers Angel Cayetano, Gerson Barreto and Piero Quispe; while at the top will play Andy Polo, Alberto Quintero and Alex Valera.
