“Alianza Lima was able to score up to six goals against Universitario. It was a walk,” said Germán Leguía

Germán Leguía gave his opinion on Alianza Lima's 4-1 win against Universitario de Deportes in the first Peruvian football classic of Liga 1 2022. The former footballer assured that the 'blue and white' could have scored more goals at the Monumental stadium.

“I feel that if they took that penalty by the hand of (Federico) Alonso, Alianza I think I could score up to six goals to Universitario, the match was a walk,” he declared for Ovación. The former member of the Peruvian national team refers to the hand in a dispute between the central crema and Hernán Barcos within the area, which was not collected by the referee Kevin Ortega.

In addition, he questioned Álvaro Gutiérrez's approach to the 'intimates'. “Álvaro Gutiérrez is a coach who has a good resume, he coached good teams, but yesterday I didn't understand why he didn't play with Polo and Quintero and a single ten knowing that Alianza played you the match without sides.”

Carlos Bustos left the line of five to play with four defenders and put Yordi Vilchez on the right wing. However, the 27-year-old was more than successful, not only in defense, but also in attack. He participated in Jairo Concha's double with long balls.

“Hernán Novick couldn't play alongside Quispe, since they played together, Quispe lowered his level a lot. On the other hand, I feel that Cayetano is out of football, it is not a contention, yesterday Alianza put several players on the right foot and that was evidenced”, continued Leguía.

The hard rout that the 'U' is left without coach according to information from RPP and the former midfielder proposed a replacement for the Uruguayan. “You must see the contract to see if his departure is viable and place an interim, in my opinion Javier Chirinos is the best. Gutiérrez has already lost a lot because he was already being questioned and what happened in the Classic was terrible.”

THE DISCOUNT OF THE 'U' ON THE CLASSIC

Universitario went to rest with the result against him. Jairo Concha was the figure of the first 45 minutes and was present on the scoreboard twice. The creams came out with a different attitude in the complementary stage and managed to discount through an action by Iván Santillán.

The 2-1 took place at 60 'of the engagement. The 'Leon' Santillán dared to face the 'Victorian' defense: first he took Yordy Vílchez with pure power and then went through the rival area until he took out a cross looking for a teammate, however, the ball hit Pablo Miguez, who had the bad fortune to put him inside his fence in his attempt to clear.

Germán Leguía gave his opinion on the goal of the 'merengues' and stated that he does not have an idea of the game. “A while ago I argued that Universitario had not been playing well despite the two games he won that he did it for individualities. The 'claw' of the U comes with the quality of the players, it's not what Santillán did, who kicked and you wait for a rebound or a center where everyone shoves in.”
