Under that line, Iván Santillán, who is one of those who returned to the 'U' after recovering from his injury, spoke out and expressed optimism for the new match against the 'Albos'. However, he did not hesitate to mention that they are aware of the recent results and, for that reason, they will seek to bring the three points to the capital.

"The mood is good and the team has a winning mentality. We know it is going to be a tough opponent due to the heat, the field, and the good team they are. However, we are 'U', we have to go out with everything to seek a victory and earn the three points," he said on Universitario TV.

"The heat will be for both teams. We have a team to achieve the result. We know that we have no margin for error and we have to go for the three points because we have the qualities to do things well in the heat of Piura," he added.

Likewise, the popular 'León' was aware that the fans are worried about the performance in the last matches and sent them a message looking ahead to this new match, in which he promises to give everything on the field to get into the fight for the Liga 1.

"We know that the 'U' fan always wants to win and for you to give your all as a cream player. I think these two games didn't give us the result, but they should also have confidence in the team because we can win. Now, on Sunday, we have a rematch and by winning we get there because we are five points away. I want to tell them that we will always give our all," he concluded.
