In this regard, the former goalkeeper of the Peruvian national team downplayed the financial factor. "On the field, it's 11 against 11, regardless of the economic value of each club. When we are on the field, that doesn't influence," he emphasized. "So the team is going to prepare. We are very excited and eager. I hope that this can be transmitted in the match," he added.
Despite the expectation present in Arequipa, the player is aware that they will face one of the candidates to take the trophy. "Anything can happen, but in our heads we believe that we can have a good match, and not look at the jersey", he concluded.
