Ricardo Gareca's ‘Step by Step’ Strategy

"Step by step," as Ricardo Gareca says. Mario Salas follows that philosophy and, first, thinks about getting rid of Universitario de Deportes, to fully focus on what will be the final of the Torneo de Verano.

True to his style, Salas left nothing to chance and prepared an offensive lineup to win his first modern classic against Universitario. Earlier, Sporting Cristal forced a draw against the 'cremas' at the Estadio Nacional. Emanuel Herrera scored a great goal.

Once again, Salas will use his star player from the beginning against 'U'. The Argentine forward will start the match. But this time, he will seek to take hold of victory. Herrera has scored 16 goals so far in the Torneo de Verano.

On the wings, Sporting Cristal will rely on Flavio Gómez and Fernando Pacheco. Both are goal scorers and will also have the opportunity to convince Salas that they should be fixed starters.
