Alianza Lima presented their 2018 squad at the Noche Blanquiazul and Pablo Bengoechea revealed the first drawings he has for the starting eleven. The Uruguayan coach included three reinforcements: Argentine Tomás Costa, midfielder Mario Velarde, and forward Janio Posito. This is how we saw them at Depor.
Tomás Costa played as a "double six" alongside Rinaldo Cruzado, and made it clear that he has a good performance (he is good at marking) and, at the same time, a long pass ability: he looked for Alejandro Hohberg on more than one occasion. He would be key for counterattacks.

"We expected the lack of game and especially some mistakes with the ball, as we just finished our pre-season," 'Tomy' mentioned, who was substituted in the second half by Carlos Ascues.
Janio Potito fought for everything, played as a pivot, fought in the area, although perhaps he lacked the basic element in every forward: to try more shots on goal and be accurate when he had the chance. Nevertheless, the former Sport Rosario player gave a good impression in the Blanquiazul presentation.
