A pesar que ha pasado más de un día desde que Cusco FC won and saved the professional category, the voice of Alfredo Ramúa still breaks. "The group always stayed united and that was a strength in all the difficult moments we have lived. The experienced people brought the touch of calm that was also necessary in an adverse situation," he declared to La República.
He positions himself as one of the players most identified with the club. After his eight seasons, he could not contain the tears when the referee ended the match, with a 2-1 victory, against Sport Huancayo. "They were tears of happiness because we did not deserve to go down. From the utility players to the coaching staff, they worked for God to give us the opportunity to continue in first division."
PUEDES VER: Cienciano will go to TAS to claim the points lost to Cusco FC
Cusco FC avoided relegation reaching 25 points and a better goal difference. They only won 6 matches in the year, one thanks to a claim against Cienciano, who appealed to TAS to recover the two deducted points. "There is no explanation for what happened. Only Sporting Cristal outclassed us, we have always been equal and even had more chances to win. The results did not go our way and that affected us."
Alfredo Ramúa ended his contract with the club, but the board has already informed him of their intention to retain him for another year. His sporting future will be defined this week.
