Separated from his family, in his hometown of Arroyo Seco, Alfredo Ramúa is counting down the days to join the preseason of Sporting Cristal. The midfielder answers the call from Depor, while waiting for his agent to confirm the date when he will sign the contract.
Alfredo Ramúa is one of the requests of Sporting Cristal's new coach, Mariano Soso, and that's why he is excited about the idea of coming to La Florida, reuniting with the Argentine coach, and playing alongside Carlos Lobatón, whom he deeply admires.
When will you be joining Sporting Cristal?
Before Christmas, my agent will let me know when I will return to Peru to finalize my contract with Cristal. I'm anxious for the agreement to be closed soon.
What motivates you the most about playing for Sporting Cristal in 2016?
The important thing is that Sporting Cristal is a very serious institution that will allow me to aspire to win my first title in Peru. It is a debt that I have pending in Peruvian football.
Having Mariano Soso as a coach at Sporting Cristal also excites you?
It will be good to work again with a coach who was able to enhance my abilities during the time I was in Garcilaso. He gave me a lot of freedom on the field and the confidence to play at a good level. He is a winning coach and I have the best references of him.
Plus, you will be playing the Copa Libertadores again...
It is a tournament that motivates any player. With Garcilaso, we reached the quarterfinals in 2013. I hope to achieve something better with Sporting Cristal.
And what do you think about playing alongside Carlos Lobatón?
He is a fantastic player. It will be an honor if I share the locker room with him because he is one of the references of the Peruvian National Team.
