University was affected last week after being defeated 1-4 by Alianza Lima at the Monumental Stadium. Therefore, many referents have spoken out about it and, even though the "cremas" are about to play the 11th round of the Liga 1, Mayer Candelo was not oblivious to what happened and expressed his feelings about the match against the "blanquiazules".

The former Colombian footballer indicated that he felt hurt, sad, and beaten because the result was historic, since the 'U' had never fallen in that way against their biggest rival. He also pointed out that as a result of this, coach Álvaro Gutiérrez left.
"As a fan, I felt sad because they made history against us. They beat us 4-1 in our own house, something that had never happened before. This classic can hit anyone, and today it was Álvaro Gutiérrez's turn to leave," he commented on TV Perú Deportes.
Similarly, the former '10' of the "cremas" in the 2008 season also stated that now they simply have to win the remaining matches because that's what the history demands and the group must reflect on what is happening, putting the club above all else to continue working.
"It's a day-to-day that only serves to win and win because we are the biggest team in Peru. We are the most champion team. All we want is to improve for the good of the "crema" and not for personal ego. I think these are moments of reflection. Let's leave ego, one and another, whatever is happening. We must take off the fancy suit and put on the work and combat overalls," he concluded.
Finally, it is important to mention that Universitario will be able to redeem themselves on Sunday, April 24th when they face Sport Boys at 15:30 hours for the 11th round of the Apertura Tournament. Just like against Alianza Lima, the "merengues" will be playing at home again and fans will be able to attend the 'Monu'.
