Three months ago, Sporting Cristal did not get seven out of nine possible points. The arrival of Pablo Zegarra gave the team a new breath and gave the players the opportunity to loosen up and start breaking negative streaks. For example, last Sunday they managed to win away from home after 12 games, against Sport Rosario in Huaraz.

Renzo Garcés recognizes all this: "The results are starting to come. Now there is more confidence in the group and that goes hand in hand with the results," he commented for the program 'Fútbol como Cancha' of RPP.
The defender added: "Chemo del Solar left the good game in Sporting Cristal and Pablo also practices it. The ideas of the game are similar, but with Chemo we didn't do well and with Pablo things are going well for us. Since he arrived, he gave us confidence, even those who go to the reserves feel confident."
Renzo Garcés also remembered when Chemo del Solar treated him badly in Ayacucho: "After that incident he approached me to apologize. At first, it was uncomfortable and many things went through my head to respond, but thanks to God I had the patience to stay calm and serene. He apologized as soon as he entered the dressing room."
"My teammates always showed their support and the group remained strong despite the speculations that it was divided," concluded the Sporting Cristal defender.
