The Sporting Cristal sports director, Alfonso García Miró, talks about the team's recent result against San Martín, the refereeing, and what's left for the team to fight for the title of the Clausura Tournament 2019, as they are currently two points behind the leader Alianza Lima.

About the past match against San Martín, he said the following: "It's part of the game, until the match is over, we are exposed to good or bad news. There are four matches left to play and we will treat them like finals. We still have a chance to finish this final stretch on a high note,"

He also talked about the refereeing mistakes in the Liga 1: "In the upcoming matches, we will start to see which teams have better chances. Referees are the most criticized in the Peruvian football industry and they are under scrutiny because their mistakes show in the results. We need to improve in the youth levels, refereeing, and management," added the Celeste leader.

Finally, Alfonso García Miró is optimistic about winning the Clausura title: "I see it with a lot of optimism, I trust the team, the team's performance is quite good. We believe we can achieve it," he concluded.
