Pablo Bengoechea relies blindly on Carlos Ascues
For the Alianza Lima coach, the player is a fixed starter due to his importance in defense and attack. In fact, Ascues is a complete player. He recovers balls and scores goals. And his level, of course, demonstrates the experience gained abroad.
"Ascues, in my opinion, has an international level. It's very clear. And for international matches, the category is decisive", said Leao Butrón on Fox Sports, prior to the match against Junior for the Copa Libertadores at Matute.
On the other hand, the natural leader of Alianza Lima stated that they cannot afford to transfer their mistakes at the national level to the Copa Libertadores. "They don't forgive you", he added.

On the other hand, Butrón gave details of his new injury, which prevented him from playing another match for the Copa Libertadores. Before, he left at halftime against Boca Juniors. Then, he missed the decisive match against Junior.
"I have an 8-day tear. I have 20 more days left. I had some responsibility, because I rushed a bit", he concluded.
