How is Paolo Guerrero doing in LDU de Quito?
Paolo Guerrero arrived at Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito with many doubts from the fans of the Ecuadorian team, one of the most important being the issue of altitude since the experienced player mentioned more than once that it would be his first experience in a team that has this climatic factor in its favor and he didn't know if it could affect his performance.

So, prior to the next match against El Nacional, the doctor Richard Cabezas spoke about how the 'Predator' is adapting to the altitude, highlighting that the striker himself has realized that he has been able to cope with it very well.
"Every day is improving. He had a significant concern about the altitude issue, but he himself realized over the passing of days that he can handle it," he said in a press conference.
Furthermore, the coach of the university team mentioned that, at the beginning, he did not think that Paolo Guerrero would have many minutes, but explained that this is due to his good physical condition. Similarly, Cabezas also explained that the fact that he has a low heart rate means that his heart beats faster, so the '9' needs to work at a higher intensity.
"Initially, we did not expect him to have so many minutes, but physically he has an advantage because he has a very low heart rate, which means that a lot of intensity and quick recovery are required for his heart to beat faster," he concluded.
We must mention that Paolo Guerrero has already played four matches with LDU de Quito and, so far, he has scored only one goal, especially against Ñublense in the Copa Sudamericana.
