Carlos Preciado: From Substitute to Key Player for Alianza Lima

It only took trust and a couple of matches to confirm that Carlos Preciado's place in the starting lineup was no coincidence. Out of the 10 matches played by Alianza Lima in the Torneo Apertura, Carlos Preciado was an undisputed starter for the team.

"Suddenly, everything changed out of nowhere. Today, I have continuity and I try to make the most of it," said Carlos Preciado to Depor, who has scored 5 goals with the Alianza Lima shirt.

No one knows better than him that football is all about seizing the moment. Until five months ago, his chances at Alianza Lima were scarce. Now, he is the moment's striker in La Victoria.

"I would like to make history at this club. It would be nice to have a personal recognition, but for now, I'm focused on the team. I want Alianza Lima to be the champion again," Carlos Preciado stated.

Fun Fact: In 2014, Carlos Preciado had his best year, scoring 10 goals in 20 matches for León de Huánuco. It seems like he's on track to surpass that number at Alianza Lima.
