Pedro Troglio

Due to the sanction that the club received, preventing them from signing players during 2018, Pedro Troglio will have to rely on the youth academy of Universitario de Deportes more than ever to assemble a team that allows him to compete in the Torneo Descentralizado, but above all in the Copa Libertadores, which is just around the corner.

Youth Talent

Just as the Argentine coach himself informed, in the first days of pre-season he promoted around 15 young players to train alongside the first team. In that group of youngsters, there is one who seems to have caught the attention of Monarcas Morelia's striker, Raúl Ruidíaz.

Paulo de la Cruz

The 'Pulga' recently used his Instagram account to highlight the young footballer, whose name is Paulo de la Cruz. "What a good player," published the Peruvian forward on his social network.

This 19-year-old talent, according to some experts, is a right winger with great speed, good change of pace, and always moving forward, as he enjoys taking on rival defenders. De la Cruz has been champion of the Copa Federación 2017 with the merengue jersey.
