En 2013, when River Plate decided not to count on the services of David Trezeguet, Newell's Old Boys opened the doors without imagining that a great friendship would be born with a Peruvian footballer he met in Lima after his visit to Alianza Lima. Last Friday, the former world champion striker reunited with his friend Rinaldo Cruzado with whom he had a very special gesture.
The blanquiazul midfielder could not see the World Champion in France 1998 during his visit to Matute, but he did see him on Friday night, far from a football field. David Trezeguet invited 'Ri' to the event held at the French Embassy in Lima to promote Paris' candidacy to host the 2024 Olympic Games.

'Trezegol', a World Cup player with the French National Team in 1998 (World Champion), 2002 and 2006 (Runner-up), arrived in Peru as ambassador of France, which is bidding to host the 2024 or 2028 Olympic Games together with Los Angeles, United States. The presence of the forward in Lima is due to the fact that the next congress of the International Olympic Committee will take place in the Peruvian capital and that decision will be made there.
But during his stay in Lima, David Trezeguet took the opportunity to visit the facilities of Alianza Lima, a club he declared himself a fan of and already knew thanks to his friendship with Rinaldo Cruzado, with whom he coincided at 'Lepra' and with whom he still maintains contact. Trezeguet invited him to the private event at the French Embassy.
