Edison Flores will face one of his most difficult rivals at the club level. His DC United team confirmed, through their social networks, that they will have a friendly match with Bayern Munich next July 20 at 18:30 (Peruvian time) at Audi Field. This duel took place thanks to the German car brand.
“FC Bayern Munich is one of the biggest and most historic clubs in our sport. It is a pleasure to welcome them and their team full of global superstars, such as Robert Lewandowski, Manuel Neuer, Leroy Sane and many more, as part of the Audi Football Summit at our home stadium this summer with our great partner Audi,” said Danita Johnson, DC United's president of commercial operations, for the of the American cast.
This will be the second friendly commitment of the 'rojinegros' to a European ensemble. Previously, he faced Real Betis of Spain in 2019, which ended with a 5-2 rout in favor of the 'Verdiblancos'. Loren, Sergio León, Joaquín, Bartra and Rober scored for the visit, while Yow and Amarikwa discounted.
FLORES WITHOUT TECHNICAL
Edison Flores was left without a coach due to poor results in Major League Soccer. This Wednesday, April 20, the club decided to fire Hernán Losada after a year and three months in office, where he could not win any important title.
The team member of the Peruvian national team ranks last in the Eastern Conference with just six points in six matches played in the tournament: two wins and four losses. After the dismissal of the Argentine, Chad Ashton is the interim coach and will lead the next match, which will be this Saturday, April 23 from 06:30pm (Peruvian time) against New England Revolution.
WILL 'EARS' PLAY WITH GARETH BALE?
The team of the former Universitario de Deportes footballer could have a luxury reinforcement for the remainder of the season. It would be the Real Madrid player, Gareth Bale. The winger ends his contract with the 'white' entity in the middle of the year and is not very considered by Carlo Ancelotti, so he would look for new airs.
“DC United in talks with Gareth Bale's representatives about moving to MLS, they told me (in fact, they spoke months ago, but they didn't go anywhere). The parties exchange proposals, but it is not clear whether it will accelerate. DCU prepared to pay more than Wayne Rooney in 2018,” Steven Goff published.
It wouldn't be far-fetched, because Wayne Rooney moved from England to the United States. The 'AstroBoy' signed for 10 million for the Washington team and stayed for two seasons.
HE'S NOT THE ONLY PERUVIAN
Pedro Gallese will also face a European rival on the same day as Edison Flores. Orlando City will star in a big game on July 20, as it will face Arsenal in the Premier League for the FC Series. The engagement will take place at Exploria Stadium and the time will be announced in the coming days.
“We are excited to be able to give our fans and Orlando's greater football community the opportunity to experience one of the most iconic clubs in the world, Arsenal FC, right here in the best football stadium in the United States, Exploria Stadium,” said Jarrod Dillon, president of commercial operations for Orlando City SC, for the information note of the 'Lions'.
