Brazil chose Alejandro Villanueva Stadium, home of Alianza Lima, as the venue for its training sessions to fine-tune details for today's match, Tuesday, September 12, against Peru for the 2026 Qualifiers.

As a gesture of good hosts, Alianza left each player of the verdeamarela team a club shirt with their own name in the Matute locker rooms, a detail that pleased the players of the 'Canarinha'.

And in addition to that, Hernán Barcos attended the training sessions of the five-time world champion receiving as a gift a Brazil shirt signed by all the team's stars, including Neymar himself.

But this decision to have 'Pirata' Barcos as Alianza's representative to the Brazilian national team did not please sports journalist Elejalder Godos at all, who stated that for situations like that, Jefferson Farfán should be the face of the institution.

"I give an idea to the people of Alianza Lima. There is a person who should handle such things, who is it? Farfán. It's my idea. What do you mean Barcos is Alianza's image? That presentation in Alianza's colors has been heavily criticized", said the experienced media man on Minuto Caliente.

Hernán Barcos signed Neymar's shirt

One of the best moments that Hernán Barcos' visit to Brazil's training sessions left was when Neymar himself asked the 'Pirata' to sign the Alianza Lima shirt he was taking as a gift.
