Sporting Cristal: How much will Viana contribute in his return against Rosario?

Mauricio Viana is one of the undisputed starters in Sporting Cristal. The 'celeste' goalkeeper has been quite consistent since his arrival at La Florida, but his impetuousness and vehemence in the last few matches have overshadowed his good level.

For Sunday's match against Sport Rosario in Huaraz, the Sporting Cristal goalkeeper returns after a one-match suspension (remember that Carlos Grados replaced him against Deportivo Municipal).

Now, after Mauricio Viana's suspension and considering his return to the pitch, many 'celestes' wonder. Does the goalkeeper contribute to the team or not?

The Chilean is undoubtedly the most successful signing by the 'celeste' board, who needed a member of hierarchy in that position after Diego Penny's poor performance in the 'cervecero' goal. Despite his short time in the team, Mauricio Viana has lived up to expectations. Are the bad attitudes we saw in the last matches decisive? They are also important, but we cannot fail to mention the importance of the goalkeeper in the team. Despite trying Carlos Grados as a substitute, he still does not meet the fans' expectations.

Mauricio Viana has conceded 45 goals so far this year, a figure that may seem significant, but we must also consider that Sporting Cristal's defensive line is one of the weakest in the championship. The goalkeeper is undoubtedly a key piece in the 'cervecero' team.

It is important to mention that Mauricio Viana was sanctioned by the Justice Commission of the Professional Football Sports Association (CJ-ADFP), with a one-match suspension after the aggression he inflicted on Jesús Arismendi in the match valid for the seventh matchday of the Torneo Apertura against Ayacucho FC, and he will return on Thursday against Rosario.
