University of Sports: Alberto Rodríguez and the streak he hopes to maintain with the cream [VIDEO]

Miercoles 12 de Julio del 2017

The 'Mute' is the fixed title in Universitario de Deportes and captain of the white and creams.

Alberto Gallardo, one of the historical idols of Sporting Cristal, traditional rival of Universitario de Deportes. However, at this point, there is something that the "cremas" could thank him for: the security that Alberto Rodríguez gives today to the "merengue" defense.

How is that possible? It is because, when 'Will' - as they call him because of Will Smith - was a child, he played in Wanka. And he played as a '9'. It was Gallardo who, in the lower divisions of the rimense club, placed him in the defense. From there he did not leave the position. And he did well. That's why he is now a fixed starter and even the captain of the "cremas".

Universitario de Deportes vs. Sport Rosario: crema has not earned a single point at high altitude.

His teammates in Universitario de Deportes rely on him to maintain order. Alberto Rodríguez is the one who distributes the most and the best: he has an average of 40 passes per match and 96% effectiveness.

Alberto Rodríguez is key. And although constant injuries are often a disadvantage, on Saturday he will play, against Sport Rosario, his seventh consecutive match after six years. The last time he did it was in 2011, with Sporting Braga: he played in 13 consecutive games.

Then he did not have the expected continuity. And not precisely because of technical decision, but rather due to a physical issue. Now it is different: he has played six consecutive matches in Pedro Troglio's "11" and he has already equaled his best streak in the last five seasons (in 2015, with Sporting Cristal).

After the matches, the Universitario de Deportes defender does a differentiated work to dose loads. And the results speak for themselves.
