Sporting Cristal has one of the most important matches so far in the 2023 campaign.
The team led by Tiago Nunes will seek to turn the global score around against Nacional from Paraguay in Lima. With a 2-0 disadvantage, the cerveceros need concentration and effectiveness, precisely the latter characteristic that 'Chorri' Palacios cannot find in Florida.
The midfielder who gave great joy to the Celeste fans in the 90s dared to make statements prior to tonight's match in the Copa Libertadores. Palacios did not leave behind his character, which has always characterized him, and stressed some mistakes that the club of his heart has been making in the international tournament.
"For the international tournament, they are still lacking a lot, a modest team like Nacional, only with aerial play, has done damage to Cristal. Now Cristal has to improve in the definition because they had opportunities to score goals there," said the former Peruvian national team member.
Cristal will seek qualification in Lima against Nacional from Paraguay.
In the interview with Ovación, he also spoke about the offensive trident that Tiago Nunes is not knowing how to form in front of the goal. "The other thing is for him to use the players he has, he has Corozo sitting on the bench, Grimaldo who is a disruptive player, and Hohberg, these are players that I wouldn't leave on the bench in my team," he declared.
When will Sporting Cristal play in the Liga 1 again?
The team, currently occupying the third position in the Liga 1, will play against ADT on March 4 at 4:00 pm at the Alberto Gallardo Stadium.
