Alianza Lima's victory at Monumental will remain in the history of Peruvian football classics. Not only because of the bulging result, but because of what came after the final whistle. The departure of Álvaro Gutiérrez, coach of Universitario de Deportes, and the silence in the stands of the stadium according to Edgar Benítez.
The 'Bird' was interviewed by Willax Deportes at the door of his house and they asked him if they silenced the Monumental, to which he replied: “Yes, maybe everything got quieter in the last one, but the truth was the atmosphere was quite good, very nice and we enjoyed the most too”.
“These are circumstances of the party, it's what you go through in the profession and we mostly think about us. We enjoyed it and people did too. That's what we wanted because our fans were always with us in good times and bad. Yesterday we gave him a joy. It is very nice to beat the classic rival in his stadium”, he added.
The Paraguayan referred to Josepmir Ballón's embrace of Piero Quispe. “These are details that we value ourselves, Ballón is an extraordinary player, he is our captain. Obviously for a juvenile comes the encouragement of someone with a lot of experience motivates him a lot. We don't know what he said to you there, but I'm sure an important piece of advice.”
“He is a boy who plays well, handles the ball well and also has a pretty good future”, were the praise of the 'intimate' winger for Quispe, who was the highlight of the 'U' in Sunday's classic.
