Aldo Corzo and the draw against Sport Boys: “We have to take charge and improve to live up to the 'U'”

Universitario de Deportes tied from home 1 to 1 against Sport Boys in a match that was played as part of matchday 11 of the Apertura Tournament of the League 1 2022. The 'creams' could not make respect for the house and are moving further and further away in a pit of bad results. In this regard, Aldo Corzo said that they must make a self-criticism to get out of the low level in which they are.

“We've had a rough couple of weeks. Unfortunately, the results have not been given to us. I'm convinced we have to take care of this. We have to improve. That's where we feel better in the game but we have to prove it on the court, in the results. That is the self-criticism that we do for ourselves. The group is hit by these weeks we've had. The only way to get this forward is to work, there is no other way to do it,” the right-back declared in statements for GOLPERÚ after the match.

Indeed, the 'merengue' cast improved in the game and had opportunities to score more goals, but they were not fine in the face of the goal or in making decisions in three quarters of a court forward. “It's an aspect (scoring the goal) that we need to improve. All in reality, because the attacks are not only from the ones above, but from the ones below. That's what we should focus on for the next game. More than anxiety, we wanted to win because of what happened last week and of course, we are hurting,” he said.

Now, this progress did not give them results, since in the defensive zone they have made mistakes that have been costing them in the matches, especially against Alianza Lima, when they were beaten at home by 4 to 1. Hence the self-evaluation of each footballer comes from to analyze the failures they caused and to amend them. In addition to giving an extra effort that allows them to compete with greater confidence. “We have to do something else because the results are not being given to us. We all need to improve and embrace this moment. We have to work harder and try to live up to the 'U'”, he added.

In fact, Jostin Alarcón's goal, which was the goal of equality, came through a deconcentration in the 'cream' lagging behind. The defenders did not react in time to a rebound left after a dispute between Alexis Blanco and José Carvallo for the ball, which was left for the young footballer to score equality.

POSSIBILITIES OF OPENING

Corzo also referred to the options that the institution of Ate has of still being able to stay in the race for the Apertura title, considering that they went down to the eighth place. “As long as there are possibilities we will fight. We are the 'U' and we are used to fighting until the end. So we're not going to lower our arms and we're going to try to win it,” he added.

And if we look closely at the standings, the leaders are three teams: Sport Huancayo, Deportivo Binacional and Alianza Atlético, they are all 22 points. While the 'creams' have 17 units, although you should expect these casts or those who follow them, to decline in their performance and the level of results to tempt maximum aspirations.

DISCOMFORT OF THE 'CREAM' FAN

Finally, the Universitario fan was present at the Monumental Stadium despite the heavy defeat against the 'compadre' last Sunday. However, they blew the players after the tie against the 'chalaco' draw. “We understand the feeling of the fan. We know we have to do something else. We are in the 'U', a team with a lot of pressure, which has a big crowd and we know we have to live up to it. We take it with respect, as an issue that must be added to us to improve”, he concluded.
