Waldir Sáenz applauded Josepmir Ballón's gesture with Piero Quispe: “That's what the referents do”

Waldir Sáenz referred to Josepmir Ballón's great gesture with Piero Quispe after the final whistle of Alianza Lima's 4-1 win against Universitario de Sports in the first classic of the season. The idol 'blanquiazul' called the midfielder a reference and full of praise for the youth academy 'crema'.

“Josepmir came quietly to Alianza, he is doing his job, he is a boy identified with football. What he did with Quispe is to applaud, that is what the referents have to do when they lose or win a game, to talk to the boys and motivate them,” the former footballer began in dialogue with GOLPERU.

“For the boy Quispe to lose his first classic must be very difficult for him. What Ballón did is applaud. God forbid this boy continues to grow, sometimes defeats are to improve, to strengthen, especially to know that these matches are not easy. For me, he's the only one who made a difference and we're talking about a 20-year-old boy,” Saenz concluded.

BALLON'S GESTURE

The captain of the 'blue and white' painting had a huge gesture with the young promise 'merengue'. Josepmir Ballón approached Piero Quispe and said a few words to him. This scene was recorded by the cameras and the video went viral on social media. Many fans of the 'U' applauded the action of the 'intimate' midfielder, but others criticized the captains of the 'cream' club, as they believe that they should have calmed their teammate.

Piero Quispe is one of those who tried the most in the last Peruvian classic, however he came across a very solid Alianza steering wheel with Ballón in the lead. Not only did he take the most initiative from football, but also from the attitude. In one play he was knocked down by Pablo Miguez, who kept the ball, but the 20-year-old footballer went to take the ball out of his hands to play fast.
