All expectators fall for the 1.70 meter-height club, but after Sporting Cristal's victory against Melgar, they are 'exalted'. Gabriel Costa and Alfredo Ramúa were the figures of the celestial victory in Arequipa and ensured that the team never lost its playing style, despite the changes.
Gabriel Costa was one of the happiest after his first goal with Sporting Cristal. However, the midfielder prefers not to talk about winning over the fans. "More than thinking about the recognition of the fans, we have to train, sacrifice ourselves game after game, and seek the improvement of the team. The rest falls naturally," he said.
Meanwhile, Alfredo Ramúa highlighted the good collective work of Sporting Cristal rather than individual performances, such as his own where he played as a '10' instead of Carlos Lobatón. "You always see the work of the group, we all work in the best way. There are good players and squad, and we hope to continue growing as such," he said.
About the triumph and the first goals of Sporting Cristal in the season, Gabriel Costa and Alfredo Ramúa agreed that the draw against Sport Huancayo showed them the way, although they did not have to make big corrections. "When a team goes out to play, spaces open up and we took advantage of them against Melgar," they commented.
