Through an interview for Gol Peru, the former defender of Universitario spoke about the merengue victory over the victorianos at the Alejandro Villanueva colossus. For "Cuto", the key to the student's victory was the humility and concentration of those from Ate.
"It is said that you can lose any game except the classic. I think we saw a very disciplined Universitario, the players very focused on a game they knew they could overcome. Even though they had a rival in front who was doing well, like Alianza Lima, who underestimated Universitario and were arrogant. I don't think they have learned their lesson," said the former Juan Aurich player.
It is worth remembering that in 2011, Juan Aurich, captained by Guadalupe, won the national final against Alianza Lima in a penalty shootout at Estadio Nacional. In that definition, the "Foquita's" uncle had popular phrases against the "íntimos". "Faith is the most beautiful thing in life", "Ah, arrogant", were the most remembered expressions of the now interviewer.
