Last Saturday, Universitario de Deportes achieved an important victory over Binacional (1-0) at the Monumental Stadium. Diego Romero was one of the standout players of the match, managing to keep his goal inviolate. After the game, the goalkeeper praised his teammates and mentioned the goalkeeper he looks up to for his style of play.
"There are several 'U' players who are in a position to be called up to the Peruvian National Team. José Carvallo, Piero Quispe, Andy Polo, Alex Valera, Edison Flores, and some others could make the cut. My role model is José (Carvallo). Internationally, it's Thibaut Courtois," stated the Universitario goalkeeper in an interview with RPP.
On the other hand, Diego Romero revealed some details about the internal situation at Universitario de Deportes, explaining the great contribution that Jorge Fossati made to the team to help them recover from a hesitant start to the season and put them in a position to compete for the national title.
"On the same day of the concentration, I found out that I was going to play against Binacional. Professor (Jorge) Fossati knows how to handle moments and also the locker room. His approach is important," added the Universitario goalkeeper.
Universitario's Schedule
After this 1-0 victory over Deportivo Binacional, Universitario de Deportes will play again next week when they visit ADT for the 9th round of the Torneo Clausura 2023 of Liga 1 Betsson. The match is scheduled for Wednesday, August 16th at 3:15 p.m. It will be played at the Unión Tarma stadium and will be exclusively broadcasted by Liga 1 MAX.
Since the 'cremas' are still in the title race, they are obliged to make a statement in Tarma and continue adding points to prevent their pursuers from reaching them at the top of the Clausura. The last time these two teams faced each other was in the Apertura, with the 'U' winning 3-1 thanks to goals from Luis Urruti (2) and Emanuel Herrera.
