Diego Manicero returned to Universitario de Deportes after a long absence due to an injury and in the third round of the Torneo Apertura he managed to score a brace for the team and prevent them from losing at home against Cantolao.
Despite the effort made, and although Universitario did not lose, the truth is that Javier Chirinos' boys are not finding the victory, they struggle to maintain the lead: "It's a shame the draw because we made a big effort during the match. The result is unfair, we deserved the three points."
When asked what Universitario is lacking to find themselves with victory, Diego Manicero did not hesitate to say: "U is lacking luck."
With the brace against Cantolao, Diego Manicero already has three goals in the Torneo Apertura. Given the impossibility of hiring new players and the departure of important players in the team, former coach Pedro Troglio decided to use him gradually. With Javier Chirinos, he has become an undisputed starter, especially with the absence of Alberto Quintero who is concentratied with the Panama National Team.
