Córdova has proven to be a coach who works intensely in training, where he has discovered that 'U's problem goes beyond what people can usually see.

Universitario will have to quickly turn the page as they will face (this Tuesday, at 8:00 p.m.) Binacional at the Monumental Stadium. This will be a nice opportunity for the 'cremas' to find a victory, something they haven't been able to achieve consistently in the Descentralizado.
